Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4371649, member: 11020"] Here is the problem. Not until this year have I heard any indication that the coaches have been on Nika to improve her offensive game. We at the BY have been discussing this since she became a starter her freshman year. We all are frustrated when she gets in the lane, one step from a lay-up, and she kicks it out. Nothing wrong with that if there is an open player to shoot a 3, but she ALWAYS passes it out. In the lane, so many opportunities for a pull-up, but no, she passes it out. I'm not saying anything new or anything we have not talked about. My problem is why haven't the coaches said something, because if Geno did get on her I think we would have seen a difference in her play. Now, to the thread title. If Nika can take at least 10 shots a game, and average 10-12 points a game, she will be the most important player. Azzi is here to score, Caroline is here to score, as is Lou and every "BIG" that needs someone to get them the ball. Nika is a very good passer, defender, rebounder, and if she can pick up her offence, she will be fine. Last year she told us that she likes to pass so two people will be happy, so evidently, nobody talked to her last year about scoring. She is going to surprise us this year and I just can't wait to see it. [/QUOTE]
