Jana's Lay Up

[CONN78SEJ]

Thank you for that thought. I've followed Alathon for years along with the ESPN and other venues who rank high school players. Amazing how many Hall of Famer's either don't show up or are ranked near the bottom of the "Top Hundred." It seems like every year we have a player who decides to transfer who was in the top twenty but did not feel that they were getting enough playing time. Well, the reason they weren't getting enough playing time is because the player next to them on the bench was more productive.

The direction this thread has taken is ridiculous. Tamika Williams, Sue Bird, Swin Cash, and Ashja Jones, were all very highly ranked in the same class, and talented, yet only one can be called “thee” generation player. Were Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers generational players in the same generation???

Geno Auriemma on Jana El-Alfy "There is no rule in basketball that says you have to make 7 moves with the ball before you go up with it."
Like most of us have been saying. Just go up with it strong, do not bring the ball down or dribble and make yourself a foot shorter. Perhaps this is the game today!!!

Just finished watching videos of Kevin McHale, probably not something a young player looking to simplify should see...

One thing he did was establish position, receive the ball, give the ball back, reestablish better position, and then move and score. He also always protected the ball on the low block dribbles. He was also playing against NBA defenders.
