Jeff Jacobs: Paige Bueckers checks all the boxes

I've felt the same thing for a while. Geno has tried to get his older players take over, even giving them books on leadership, but I've always thought that Bueckers would take that role on the court, simply because it suits her position, her skill and her personality.

The video below as a whole is interesting. However, relative to leading this team go to the 3:00 mark and listen to what Paige says.
 
I always thought that a pull-up 2-pointer in the lane
is just as devastating as a three.
If you have it; will potentially be higher %
And it is even more a back-breaker...if you can't guard
inside the circle, what can you guard?...
I remember in the bad old Skyler days;
how she used to dart around a screen near the foul-line
and find an open, back-breaking deuce.

More fearless than Maya? More fearless than Diana? I would say "as fearless" which is incredibly great ......

I have to bet that she is the defacto leader now. Geno says her teammates love her because she gets them the ball. Her teammates have to recognize her floor skills and seen her shooting skills day after day. When Evina calls you AMAZING well, you are. The whole who speaks when will work itself out on the floor as the games progress or until Geno points to her in a time out and says "listen to her."

In the first minute of the game, when Christyn had the ball on the baseline, you could see Paige in no uncertain terms point out to Christyn to get the pass into Liv quickly with an obvious mismatch. Leadership comes naturally to her

That is a really tough thing for a freshman to do.

She is a natural leader but it seems that Paige and Evina together will take alot of the leadership mantle. Liv and Christyn may have enough on their plate getting their level of play to a high consistent level.

This is a situation Geno has created as he attempts to deal with a team bereft of seniors. ONO and CW are leaders by default, not because it comes naturally to them. It comes naturally to Paige but Geno has not turned over the reins to her. It's coming though. Evina can lead but her minutes are limited for now. This will all work itself out.

I simply can't even imagine what that back court is going to look like next season.........good luck trying to stop that tandem from scoring......

Try to imagine Paige et al with this player. This was the City Championship game, when sophomore Azzi outscored the entire Visitation team. That's the Mystics' home arena. Elena Delle Donne plays there. The arena record is held by Azzi Fudd (from this game).
