Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 4078335, member: 366"] A few thoughts: 1. Charlie is right. Azzi is strong and rather solidly built--not as much as Christyn, but more solid than Paige. 2. In the U-19 tourney, Azzi--who is the ultimate team player--did what she was asked to do. She did a fair amount of ball-handling and played defense against the opponent's best guard/wing. She also shot the ball well. And she did all this on a bad foot/ankle. Citron and Clark may have been more aggressive. If Azzi has a weakness, it may be that she could be more aggressive. I've thought for 2 years that Azzi needed to play for Geno and with Paige to best enhance her development. Unlike Citron and Clark, Azzi rarely takes a bad shot. 3. Azzi won 2 of the 4 NPOY awards in 2019. What players did she beat out? No less than Haley Jones (who won the other 2 awards) and Paige Bueckers (who won all 4 awards the following year). Given the season that Paige had last year, I don't expect Azzi to be the NPOY as a freshman, but frankly it wouldn't shock me. Azzi is smart, smooth, and skilled. I promise that you folks will absolutely love her. Every time she shoots the ball, you will expect it to go in. Her mid-range game is honestly better than Sue Bird's. [/QUOTE]
