Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 3552404, member: 7882"] We can agree to allow that. I might also have praised: Napheesa’s developed and developing arsenal of shots: in-between jumper; that little 10’ set shot; her up and under (shades of Kevin McHale); her Euro step; use of the glass; that indefensible turn around, arching fade away; and eventually a shot beyond the arc (admittedly, never fully deployed during her college years); and Her movement without the ball, manifesting itself in many ways, and eliciting comments on her “nose for the ball”, uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time, facility for picking up easy put-backs, getting “garbage” buckets, her agility at deploying the famed Collier “cloaking device”. In a nutshell, it is a key source to what made her “the Silent Assassin” (a phrase I never particularly cared for). Was there [I]ever[/I] a UConn player who moved better—more effectively, efficiently and intelligently—[I]without[/I] the ball? [/QUOTE]
