Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 2111654, member: 534"] The 'official' line (found in a Geno interview somewhere during the last two weeks) is her ball handling and perimeter shooting. After watching her I don't really see a whole lot of need for improvement in her handle. She handles bringing it up against the press when called on, and goes behind her back in traffic to initiate or complete a move on occasion. But she needs to be recognized for it before the 'experts' will give her credit for it. Her perimeter (IE, 3 point) shooting is an unknown quantity. I know she didn't attempt one in years 1 or 2. ISTR her taking and missing on this year, but I may be mistaken. She's pretty damned good from 12 to 18 feet or so, though. When I watch a UConn women's game, I turn it off when Gabby goes to the bench. She's supposed to be too small to play the 4 in the WNBA. But she's supposed to be too small to play it in college, too. And she hasn't been stopped by any of the 6-2 to 6-4 players she's faced -- some of them very highly rated. When you look at here amazing athletic ability and fearless use of it, it's hard to comprehend that she has had 2 ACL surgeries. [/QUOTE]
