Geno commented last year in a post-game presser that the most impressive thing about Paige is that she plays at the same pace the entire game, and that because of it, the game slows down for her. He said you can't make her play faster than she wants to play. BTW, love the "matrix" vision comparison - sort of sums it up visually.
There was a game last year and Paige was guarding her player pretty much on the baseline. Suddenly she took off to the top of the key, grabbed a pass with both hands and was off to the races. Simply stunning vision.
And iirc, Paige had only one shot in that stretch.
She is a better scoring guard than a point guard. Today's games and even last year confirms it.
Remember she had ankle surgery to fix a chronic type condition. When asked about it, she said she really needed it even though she fought to have the surgery
Both parents had seen Paige play in CT last year.
Nice try!
If this keeps up, pretty soon we will discover that she is actually The One!
If I had @Biff’s skills, I’d slap a pair of sunglasses and black overcoat on her and the lobby for the nickname “Neo.”
For the last 2 years I have bit my tongue as time and time again folks asserted Azzi was a better player than Paige. Fact is they are very different players and will be even when Azzi gets settled in.
And who else would you want with you to kick ass in your matrix than Trinity Nika. There is no discussion as to who is Morpheus.
Yes they are very different players and Fudd may very well become a great college shooter. But that is the only skill where she will ever be the equal of Bueckers. When it comes to overall skill set, vision of the court, and supreme confidence there is no one in the college game that is in Bueckers’ class. And I don’t see that changing until PB turns pro.
And how do you know all this? Have you seen Azzi play a lot in high school? Or, are you basing this on one game? I mean, Stewie scored zero points as a freshman against Baylor. Stewie!
I know what I see and I trust my eyes.
You may not recall anyone saying that but I sure read a lot of posts saying it...The 3 point shot was a given..the rest of her game not even in the same discussion as Paige
Hi, Thank you, but, hmm, you didn't exactly answer my question.
On about 3 years worth of Fudd video, probably half of it full game. But this isn’t a critical assessment of Fudd’s skills so much as who she’s being compared to, in this case Bueckers. Fudd may well become an AA but in this case I just included her with the rest of college players in the comparison. I believe Fudd has very good skills and look forward to seeing how she develops them against college competition. It’s just that Bueckers is already at the top of that level.
Yours is a thoughtful reply. Thank you.
One of the top three? Lets pump the brakes on that one!Better than Stewie,Maya,or the best to ever play DT?....Does she have a shot to be in that group,absolutely..but lets wait till her senior year and see how she compares..Remember Stewie(4)..D(3)..and Maya(2) beside being excellent themselves all made their teammates better to bring home National titles..let's wait and see how Paige does before putting her on the mountain.
