Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3821749, member: 7511"] I have to comment on the idea that Mikayla Coombs had a reliable jump shot in HS, something she’s never demonstrated at UConn or UGA. Other than on her HS highlight tapes, where she makes 100% of all her outside shots because they wouldn’t be included in a highlight tape if she didn’t make them, there is little indication that Coombs possessed a reliable jump shot. On Hoopgurlz, Olson assesses Coombs over 3 successive years. Only in his first year assessment does he even mention her outside shooting to suggest she has, “stationary range at the arc,” a somewhat dubious assessment. In subsequent years Olson emphasizes Coombs ability to finish at the rim, but makes no mention at all of her outside shooting. The suspicion of Coombs lack of shooting prowess is further bolstered by her performance in the McD AA game. In a game when everyone is firing up 3’s, Coombs didn’t take a single outside shot. In just 10 games, Nika has made 3 times as many 3-pt shots as Coombs did in 2 full seasons at UConn + 14 games at UGA. [/QUOTE]
