Message: [QUOTE="jabstep, post: 3821510, member: 10340"] What I liked about Nika's play against Georgetown was her defensive intensity and hustle and going on the floor to get the ball. Yes, she still gets beat on the dribble but so does all players on the overplay man to man. We have Liv the SWATTER to scare all the drivers into bad shots or mistakes. On offense, Nika is still playing as she did in Europe. I mentioned last summer that Nika might have trouble at UConn because of her turnovers to assist ratio. I am surprised by her inability to finish on her drives which she did rather well in Europe. I did compare her to Molly Bent and was surprised to see others see that comparison now. Her 3 point shot is a work in progress and looked better against Georgetown but she still takes a lot of time for her release and setup. I am surprised she hasn't had the training she is now getting. If she plays within herself and does the things she does well we will be OK. We need Paige,Liv, Christyn, Evina, and Aubrey to carry us. [/QUOTE]
