Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4371502, member: 12088"] I don’t think [USER=5823]@CocoHusky[/USER] was too harsh. That was the simple truth, that Nika has taken too long to develop her offense. I doubt it’s that she lacks the ability or the drive. I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t just her stubbornness. This is what makes her awesome on D, and it may also be what makes her a difficult student. Remember that video where she was mic’d up in practice? She muttered about how Geno was “the smartest man in the world.” I’m sure she was not being sarcastic, that she respects him as a coach. But a fiery personality like hers is also going to have an edge on comments like that. If she turns her fire onto this new challenge, I think she can do it. She’ll need to do basic things better. For example, can she finish a layup with either hand? Can she do it equally well from either side? The summer may have been spent just working on little skills like this. [/QUOTE]
