Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2692697, member: 7511"] Mikayla did hit 1 triple this season and was ranked 13th by ESPN coming out of HS. On just about all of the HS evaluations she is described as, “explosive combo guard who delivers at the rim and at the mid range.” Unfortunately, as you point out, none of the evaluations had much, if anything, to say about her outside shooting, which tells me she really wasn’t much of an outside shooter in HS. From the limited minutes Mikayla has played, she appears to be a better-than-average ball handler and passer, and a potentially outstanding defender. So here’s my thought on Mikayla. She may never be much of a shooter, but neither was Mo for her first 2 seasons, and the Gabulous one never was a great shooter. If Mikayla can effectively handle the ball, penetrate to the basket, dish to her teammates and become a shut down defender, she can be a very effective player for the Huskies. [/QUOTE]
