Kaitlyn putting in the work

Does she have any elevation? I haven't seen any play beyond 6 second snippets. That big still isn't a jump shot. She's 2 inches off the deck.

Watch her cook against UCLA. All those girls are taller than she is, and she managed 20+ points.

Doesn't really need much. Larry Bird didn't have any and Taurasi only has about 4 inches. The quick release is all she needs.

Short as she is I'd like her to be able to get up there, but I hear you.

She isn't going to be elevating over people to shoot. Instead her shot opportunities will come through the flow of the offense. That's nothing new. It's Connecticut's offense.

That said don't mistake the amount of elevation on her jumpshot with her ability to jump. Those are two different things. She actually looks pretty fit. I wouldn't be surprised if she has good leaping ability. (For what it's worth, when my daughter played she would get up maybe four or 5 inches on her jumpshot, but her standing vertical was 27.5 inches.)

Hmmm...would the coaches have a communication problem if Azzi and Allie (possible nickname AZ) were both in the game at the same time?
Yeah I know it's crazy but " In the off-season an idle mind is a nursery for crazy and or Obtuse thoughts".....my bad

AZ is Azzi’s name.

AZ is Azzi’s name.

K has very high Basketball ( among other ) IQ. Princeton team mates had great respect for her.

Geno's use of, "very,very" and "really, really" are always a great sign!

AZ is Azzi’s name.

Yeah, the UConn coaches have a way of figuring those things out. Remember when they had Bria, Breanna, and Brianna? They became Bria, Stewie, and Polly.

I have a vague recollection of some reporter asking how Breanna became Stewie. Geno said something like, “I got sick of having three kids running up to me every time I shouted a name starting with Bri.”
