Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 4391691, member: 6872"] A whole buncha’ practice dunks in that clip with no defenders. Only one player in that clip has game time dunks - and even her’s are uncontested breakaways. Yes, belibi has dunked a few times in games and someone recently posted an impressive Fournier game-time dunk but let’s face it, they are rare. Appreciate their leaping ability for its potential to rebound and block/alter shots. The importance of dunks themselves are minimal. Show me a video history of dunks in games between top flight teams. It will be a very short clip. We too have a heralded freshman dunker coming aboard this year. I very [B]VERY[/B] seriously doubt she will have double digit dunks during her entire collegiate career (more like 5 max) , and I expect none against good teams that play defense. I care only because it shows her potential for rebounds and blocks - I’m just not excited about dunks. Nobody alters a defensive scheme to account for a dunker. An Azzi Fudd level jump shooter is a different story. Gotta’ account for that hot handed three! Good luck to Ayanna ( except against top defenses -wink). I expect her to be an excellent rebounder/shot blocker. But dunks? meh. I’m not on the train for her - or our frosh - or anybody else. [/QUOTE]
