OT: Azzi Fudd

[Scot-e]

Azzi is the real deal. Not as fun to watch as Paige but but can handle the rock as well as anyone and I have never seen a better shooter out of HS in my lifetime.

 

[Waquoit]

Female basketball players have always blown out their ACL's like crazy.

Nice of these student-athletes to get them fixed on their own nickel. UConn still has bills to pay.

 

[storrsroars]

She gets to the wim with ease and webounds vewy well for hewr size, huh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.


(c'mon man, somebody had to do it)

 

[mauconnfan]

I think Breanna Stewart is the GOAT. Argue away.

Good argument but only maybe a tie, Diana is special. But again, Breanna is the only one close as far as I can see.

 

[QDOG5]

If anyone is coaching female basketball or soccer players I suggest they take a look at the Santa Monica ACL injury prevention project. They have drills and stretches that help to build the muscles around the knee. I had my teams perform them every practice.

 

[CL82]

Did she inherit the mansion, the yacht, or both?

I've made a similar observation on the WBB board. The only response it generated was the sound of crickets.

 

[superjohn]

In college hard to argue against Stewart. 4 NCs, 4 x MOP lost 5 games her entire career

I'm talking overall career. Taurasi won so much in college, WNBA, Europe, International. It's just too early for Stewart but she's on the right track and could someday pass her. I've still never seen a woman play like Taurasi, she has the game and swagger of a men's player who has an incredibly refined street game.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Too bad she's not playing this year, Azzi may need the UConn crowd to be vewy, vewy quiet before she shoots.

I don't watch much women's ball but 100% agree. Taurasi is a different beast than anyone else I've seen in the women's game.

 

[Vuce]

Maybe they could open a restaurant chain and call it FuddBueckers.

This is freaking brilliant. Marketing Ops everywhere and ready made area in the student section

Not coaching but one of the soccer leagues I played in my team had a different girl tear her ACL 3 seasons in a row (and at least 1 of them it wasn't her first time tearing it). These were girls who played D1 or D2, not just some rec league players...should have been doing those exercises

 

[nomar]

Literally never heard of her until 60 seconds ago but, uh, this sounds pretty good?

"She can be going full speed, and stop on a dime and have, like, a feathery release," said two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry. "I think she has more of a textbook jumper than anyone I've seen. Maybe Klay Thompson and Azzi Fudd. ... You go Ray Allen, Klay Thompson, and Azzi Fudd, textbook. You would teach somebody how to shoot with their form."

 

[Dove]

Fudd comin'.

 

[HuskyNan]

Living down here in NC, I am getting sick of South Carolina’s recent success and them thinking they’re the best thing since sliced bread. Great for the Women’s game to have some other great teams in the mix. But it’s time for UConn to take back its throne. Let’s go!

Not according to South Carolina. https://www.thestate.com/sports/col...a/usc-womens-basketball/article241353076.html

Yeah, Stewart and Kareem basically had perfect college careers for wins, win streaks, POY awards, Nat'l championships and FF MVP's. Both of them ran the slate.

(c'mon man, somebody had to do it)

“Shhh, be vewy quiet. We’re hunting championships.”

 

[Scot-e]

Her name could be Dook Orange and you would still be happy she is a Huskie.

 

[Adios]

Not according to South Carolina. https://www.thestate.com/sports/col...a/usc-womens-basketball/article241353076.html

So petty. She's the coach of the national team now and this is the bravado that's her focus?

 

[CL82]

Jesus saves...Espo gets the rebound...

Lol, watching him sit in crease getting his ankles hammered and refusing to shoved out was strangely entertaining. Eventually he was going redirect a shot for a goal or put back a rebound.

 

[CTBballfan243]

May I throw in Bobby Orr?

Yes you may. I would have Bobby right there just behind Mario Lemieux. But then again, The Great One himself says that Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe is the GOAT.

Hard to remember anyone else as "go to" as Stewie.

 

[Waquoit]

Stewie wasn't go-to out of the box. It took 2/3rds the year, iirc. But that last 3rd on it was game over for any other team until she graduated.

 

[Conndog]

Here's her shooting threes- 20 in a row!

 

[the Q]

Eveyone better get uconn this year.

cause good luck the next 3.

 

[auror]

Here's her shooting threes- 20 in a row!

Holy shit. The smaller ball and closer line helps, but that's so effortless. Insane touch. Steph Curry-esque.

 

[Dove]

Those who look down on UConn Women's hoops should be okay that they aren't total UConn fans. Just a bit of a UConn fan.

 

[superjohn]

Here's her shooting threes- 20 in a row!

Unreal, she flicks it in like it's a layup.

 

[the Q]

Unreal, she flicks it in like it's a layup.

that is a quick release.

damn. Good luck everyone

 

[Dogdeacon]

that is a quick release.

damn. Good luck everyone

a little low on the release, might not mess with it though ;O

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I'd take her down in pop-a-shot at Uncle Bucks Fish Bowl and Grill in Bridgeport.
