Terrible coach, the most player turnover in the history of basketball, very dumb owner, a bunch of players, not a team ...um, let's see, I guess that's enough.
That's why you can't double A.T. or C.C. because if you do they pass so well they find the open player for a layup or a wide open three
I would say Paige IS an elite passer. I think her issue this year is a disorganized team. To make good passes she needs to know where her teammates will be and when they’ll cut. It’s been clear to me from the beginning of the season that the team has little discipline on offense or defense. I’d hoped it would get better with time, but the combination of turnover on the team and a coach of questionable ability has put that possibility to rest.
Seriously? On a good team, where everyone passed the ball and cut, Paige was 2nd in the nation in A/TO ratio with a remarkable 3.52. Surround her with more experienced players who understand ball and player movement better than the inexperienced cast of characters she currently plays with, and her assist numbers in the W, which are very good, would be considerably better.
I don't think you've been paying attention. Paige may be the best passer in the W. Often she has no one to pass to to accomplish anything.
I wouldn't waste time responding to Browns on this forum. He is obviously a devoted CC fan whose prime purpose being on this forum and this specific Paige's Wings Page thread is no matter what stat is referenced to continually contrast Paige in a negative light while promoting CC even when the "facts" or 'stats" he states are wrong or at best misleading. Get's tiresome. I think the most appropriate reaction to his posts is no reaction. Best to just ignore him completely.
If the ownership has any desire in wanting to make the Wings at least a strong competitor in the W then they must seriously consider starting over. It ain't working and won't as long as this team is managed and coached the way it is. The Wings despite the brave post-game comments by the players and the coach is not a team but instead a loosely and badly formed bunch of basketball players who don't play team basketball on offense or defense. It's simply dreadful to watch how Paige must feel game after game when the Wings just can't get it together. Enough Old Willie. You're beating a dead horse.
She's also got a bad back right now........if the team wasn't so shorthanded, she probably would have sat out a game or two or at least played limited minutes....
You must not know the equation for assists — it takes a passer and a finisher and also chemistry between the two. And then there’s A/TO statistics to give context.
Interesting take, Bald Husky. Haven't given lot of thought to Serah with Betts and the other names being cast up as potential Wings candidates. Will like to see how she advances under Geno's and CD's wings. No doubt transferring in she is extremely motivated so with a strong will to improve and a high skill level she could definitely surprise a lot of people.
Not according to Nancy Lieberman she's not and she knows a lot better than you or I would about passing the ball
Yes I thought it would be an absolute trainwreck and I was amazed how Paige ewas able to rise above it. Now she's exhausted and every team is fully mobilized not to have her lay a 44 on them. But getting back to the Wings if Arike stays it will only be because being 2d banana is better than being 3rd banana somewhere else. I want her gone if value is gotten; she needs the ball too much. If you know the history you know the Wings have been disfunctional for years. The owner wants a team for cocktail time; enthusiasm for winning not so much.
On the other hand, I did not expect Paige to be as good as she is, at least not this quickly.
A player can also score high while also assisting high
This Nancy Lieberman?
Seriously the Paige hater needs to of this thread.
When you find yourself in a hole, just stop digging. After Paige won the “Nancy Lieberman Award” as the best point guard in the nation, Lieberman had nothing but praise for Paige and her game.
