Message: [QUOTE="FanHam, post: 3772051, member: 7690"] This team is one surprise after another: Paige, Aaliyah, and now Autumn! I loved the glimpse we got of Autumn Chassion and hope we get a longer look next time. Aaliyah has to play. Lots. Paige is a stat sheet stuffer. Comparisons to Taurasi and Moore are valid, though she's more of a combination of their fortes and the fortes of others: Moore's slashing, Taurasi's passing, Sue Bird's or Breanna Stewart's pullup, Kelly Faris's thieving defense. We are watching the nascency of a special talent. Speaking of slashing, Christyn Williams may be the best pure slasher I've seen at UConn. I lived in Indiana during Larry Bird's time at Indiana State. His play and stats were so extraordinary that one of the scant few networks at the time broadcast every ISU game of his senior year. Hardly a game went by when he didn't hit a teammate in the face with a pass. Paige has his "look away at your own peril" quality. [/QUOTE]
