Jovana video

[HuskyNan]

Jovana, K9, Blanca, and Kelis are going to drive defenses crazy.

Also note - Jovana is a signee, not a commit

She looks very comfortable and in control. Great drives to the hoop. A good 3 ball shooter and I love her down the court fast break passes. She is a keeper!!!

A special player. Very Special

Jovanna will compete for a starting spot next season. While the video doesn’t show it, she’s also a pretty good defender in addition to all the offense she has in her bag.

Like that she can finish well with her left hand. Seen multiple videos of this.

It’s a little thing that’s so very important when driving to the basket. One thing I have noticed over the years, watching UConn warm up, is that when the layup line moves to the left side of the basket, just about every player uses their left hand. That continually practiced skill translates directly to game situations.

I would love to see their if any contact finishing drills.

That is the 6-4 Okeke #17 in red that she blows by in two of the first three plays on the video.

 

[Next 12]

Uconn scores again with Jovana, a player that is ready to play. Can't wait to see her in action with Uconn. Her moves to the basket arevery precise and controlled. GO JOVANA!!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!

It is surprising to see guards at the D1 level not be able to finish with either hand. It’s such a limiting factor. And it’s a footwork skill as much as a hand skill. I get that bigs don’t often develop this skill. They bring other talents to the court.

This is related to having a pronounced preference to drive one way, which becomes a liability as soon as opponents include it in their scout. I was always impressed by how hard Christyn worked on developing her right hand so she could eliminate this limitation.
