Well said re: Kia. It's weird, but after the Pan Am games, in which Kia exploded offensively following her Freshman year, I thought Geno would have a problem on his hands trying to figure out how to get Kia more involved in the offensive mix when it became obvious she was a scorer. However, it never happened. In fact her offensive stats diminished in her Sophomore year and all you heard was that she primarily there to play defense, which she did at the highest level. Regardless what happens the remainder of her first year in the pros, it's nice to see Pan Am Kia wasn't an anomaly. She shot 15 of 16 from the foul line yesterday in large part because she was taking the ball to the basket. She'll be the first to admit she's not the most talented or athletic player on the floor but one has to wonder, if what we've seen in the pros so far is truly who Kia is, why her abilities weren't necessarily maximized at UCONN. That being said, maybe having too much talent on one team works to the detriment of some players. Tiffany Hayes may be a good example.
