Message: [QUOTE="Bills Fan, post: 4385643, member: 8262"] Sorry to disagree with the all-knowing Carnac and the few other posters who are on the Amari bandwagon. As I watched her in her limited minutes last year, she did seem to have some skills, such as a nice shot. However, my concern about her is more about the intangibles which cannot be taught-hustle, desire and intensity, and yes, maybe those three items overlap. However, in my experience playing and coaching a few sports, those are in the category of "you either have them or you can't learn them." Skills such as shooting, passing and dribbling can be learned and improved with practice and good coaching, but the inner traits, not so much. I can see why Amari had a good high school career and why she was offered a chance to play at UCONN, but after watching her limiting minutes on the court last year, I saw her basketball skills, but not the desire traits. I hope, for the sake of the team that I am proven wrong. [/QUOTE]
