Once Ayanna establishes that she can dunk during a game, defenses will need to adjust their defense to prevent it which can open up more scoring opportunities for other players.
They may want to place a big closer to the basket which could help our mid range game.
Or Ayanna can draw fouls if they play tighter defense.
And if we have 2 threats to dunk in the game at the same time like Amari & Ayana, then if they try to block one them then we can pass to the other.
A dunker could open up a new inside scoring strategy whether it's real or imagined.
That's why I think that the sooner and more often that Ayanna or any other UConn player can dunk and score, then the better for UConn.
Dunking has the potential to become more than just an exhibition, it can become a show of force and part of UConn's offensive tool box.
Ayanna should be allowed & encourage to become as proficient at dunking as possible.
It would require some team work but in some situations it could pay off by making a difference in the results.
