On the brighter side Paige passes Stewie

Bueckers 181 Stewie 169 And yet she does not shoot enough!

Uh oh. If THIS trend continues, we may have something here.

I believe the photo of Paige is AFTER she just hit the 3 against Tennessee.

How can she not be built to be a pure scorer? As a freshman, she is shooting better from the perimeter than any uconn player in history, she has one of, if not, the best mid range shots, and has shown the ability to finish at the rim, even through contact. She can score from anywhere on the floor at any given time, and does it with some crazy efficiency. She's completely capable of scoring any time regardless of who she is playing with, even with extra defensive attention. For years we called CW a pure scorer, yet she can't score the way Bueckers does...so what makes her a pure scorer? More that her only proficiency is scoring. Bueckers is just an incredible all around talent.

Will agree with you that we can't become a one trick pony, because that will be easier to defend going forward. We need others to step up and hit their open shots, allowing us to capitalize on the passing ability that Bueckers also provides.

She's a very good outside shooter but to think she's going to shoot even 50% from three is going to be a stretch...........I don't think she even did that in high school...........her mid range game is superb and yes she is great on the drive..........that said, she will go down in history as the best passer UConn has ever seen and her value to the team as a facilitator/scorer should not be underestimated..........I think you'll get a better sense of that next season when the best shooter in WBB comes to town........

Could not wait! After playing in 15 games Paige has 319 points. After playing in 20 games Stewie had 293 points and Maya had 331 points. At the 20 game mark Paige should have 400+ points. Paige is rapidly becoming the best freshman ever in the UCONN program. No ifs, ands, or buts about it! No Dianas, Mayas, or Stewies about it!

What's the minutes per game and Stewie and Maya had better teammates.

Stewie and Maya always sat during blowouts
