Message: [QUOTE="pk1234, post: 4423221, member: 8474"] Azzi: Looks like a superstar, a Top 5 player in the country. She's not going to have many 1-for-8 games from 3. Looks so much better defensively than last year and of course an offensive juggernaut (not just from 3). Aaliyah: 1st half of this game Aaliyah is so good and fun to watch. Just so, so active. Need that consistently. Dorka: Looks like a whole different player, not even really physically but mentally. Playing with leadership and an obvious chip on her shoulder. Huge year ahead. Nika: Nothing really new here, a game changer on both sides of the ball. Only got credit for 6 steals but think she was a part of close to 10. Just needs to stay out of foul trouble. Lou: Great scorer, need to see how she plays both offensively and defensively against a stronger opponent on Monday. Aubrey: Looks fantastic, healthy, and has improved shooting and ball-handling without giving up much athletically post-surgery. Impact player off the bench. Ayanna: Flashes of way more than what her role will be this year, but for this year if everyone stays healthy she's the perfect player to come in for pure energy for 10-15 minutes a game, grab rebounds, make other teams work, use up fouls if needed. Perfect player in that role Ines: Would've liked to see more of her today against a weak team. Definitely looks like there's something there, but doesn't appear to have Geno's confidence yet. Amari: A couple of decent plays after first checking in but then in crashed and burned from there IMO. Just looks like a deer in the headlights. I'm not sure she ever plays serious minutes here. It just doesn't seem to be working. Tools seem to be there, has to be mainly mental. All in all, a weak opponent but this team feels like it has a synergy that the teams in the past few years didn't have. These kids seem like they are having a lot more fun and playing with a lot more confidence, and Nika, Dorka and Azzi, all in very different ways, have taken clear leadership roles. [/QUOTE]
