How many pure points can we think of? Len Wilkins, Buddy in “Hoosiers”. The back to the basket, block to block center may be too. Doesn’t mean the small player is obsolete or tall player either of course. Isn’t the game about matchups? Last year Geno had a toolbox full of mismatches. This year even more? TBD Is KK the new Nika? I contend that she’s had a terrific UConn career so far. Started as a freshman on a thin team that went to the Final 4. Imagine 2024 with a little more depth and UConn having the ability to extend the D for 40 minutes, led by KK on top. (I can picture Dawn with her head back shouting obscenities rather than making adjustments) Last year as a catalyst for a historically cohesive defensive unit. This year can we embrace passing the torch to KK? It’s her turn. I think she’s ready. Why wouldn’t she be? She’s done everything asked of her and more. It’ll help if she can hit that wing J, but is that truly essential? Remember down the stretch in 2024 when Paige kicked it to her? [/QUOTE]
