Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4028131, member: 3535"] I tend to go with DePup more than what you're saying in terms of context (they all can't both be significantly good passers and shooters otherwise we'd be having 5/6/7 All-American college players on this team.). I don’t know enough about the other players and you and many others have a ton more knowledge of all these players- but I sort of focused on 2 players other than Azzi. with the 1st game I was cracking up when Azzi was in there with Clark and Johnson. Don't get me wrong -- these are two amazing players. And ofc Clark is off-the-charts. But sticking to Johnson-- she's a reluctant passer. I just want to make it clear - I think she's terrific - but just look at her stats when she was at RU. She is 5'5? And she averaged nearly 13 shots a game - and averaging 33.5 mpg, she only averaged a little above 2.5 assists with a not so hot assist to turnover ratio of 1.4. All in al not bad for a frosh but she did average over 40% more shots taken than the 3rd and 4th players on her RU team (which she is leaving now.). - But now let's look at this team. She's 2nd on the team with 20 shots taken so far. Her assist to turnover ratio is 2nd worst on the team even though she is a 5'5 uber quick guard. She has been terrific a very efficient scorer for a guard but man, she is a gunner like Clark. That 1st game it was pretty comical in 2nd half Johnson is bringing the ball up and either she is going to make a move on her own or she is going to pass it to the team's 1st option - which is Clark. By the way, I think with that lineup Betts was in. It's comical because it seemed so futile that Azzi was going to get many touches. So yeah Johnson and Clark can pass. But that's not what they are looking to do. If Azzi is going to play with Johnson, Clark and Betts (Betts is beast) - Azzi isn't going to get many looks even though the other players "can pass." :) [/QUOTE]
