Message: [QUOTE="#12in21, post: 3904105, member: 10763"] My guess and hope is that the response to the question as to her ceiling is she mostly isn't close yet. Glass or otherwise I suspect she will break through any others have determined for her. She has said that she only started playing basketball 4-5 years before arriving in Storrs. She indicated she tried all the other sports over her earlier years and somewhat avoided bball as both her parents played and their careers both ended in injury which devasted each of them - but once she tried basketball she loved it. She is very self aware and in interviews before joining the Hu/skies she self identified her strengths and weaknesses. Distributing the ball and defense were her strengths and shooting efficiency something she knew she had to work on. After a tough start of adjusting to how fouls are called in the US (apparently a lot more contact allowed in Europe) she has adapted that part her game from being foul prone to be the spark to the teams second half of the season reclaiming of UCONN's signature intense defense. She has also accepted the need to be an offense threat to keep the other team's defense honest by increasing her willingness to take and ability to make shots ( for which she has indicated she is putting in extra time practicing on). To me she has a huge upside for continuing improvement and has exhibited the drive to put in the work to do so. As you mentioned she has a great personality to boot. Love this kid and look forward to rooting for her each step of the way. [/QUOTE]
