She is further expanding her game at the end of her college career. She knows she may need it in the tourney. And she'll need it at the next level. She is simply a great, great shooter. From anywhere.
I can't say that because there are many, many players in the women's game that you aren't exposed to. To suggest that is a little over the top. Beyond that, it would suggest that her assist total should be through the roof and it really isn't. It's nice to want to heap praise on her and heaven knows, she deserves a massive amount but though she is a well rounded player (much more than anyone might have guessed she would be in her early days with the Huskies) she may not even be the best passer on this team. I think Moriah is pretty impressive, isn't she??? KML will be talked about fondly long after she moves on to the WNBA for her talent and her grace, among other things! I don't think her passing skills will be much of a topic of conversation down the road.Not only she's the best shooter of the game, she's the most accurate passer of the game.

I think she is an awesome passer, and facilitates offensive flow like Stef and Kelly Farris. She is constantly motioning to others what to do on the floor. And she's the best screener on the team- geno's words re the screening, not just mine!I can't say that because there are many, many players in the women's game that you aren't exposed to.

Nice stats. I think that she's been more versatile of late and in the big games, but I didn't check the numbers.Actually kind of the opposite... Kaleena is more of "specialist" this year then she has been in any previous year. She is attempting and making 3 pointers at a higher rate in her senior year that any other year she has played at UConn.
Percentage of field goal attempts that are 3 pointers:
freshman: 51%
sophomore: 52%
junior: 54%
senior: 63%
Percentage of made field goals that are 3 pointers:
freshman: 46%
sophomore: 49%
junior: 47%
senior: 59%
