Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3147001, member: 250"] So, feeling withdrawal symptoms from our recruiting flurry, I went back to review some of the information on our new recruits. This caught my eye about Nika: "She has great vision and court awareness," Galligan said. "Her handle is impressive. [B]She does a lot with side steps and Eurosteps.[/B] She can knock down an open 3, but where she is elite is how she gets to the rim and creates for herself or a teammate. "When she gets to the open floor, it's game over."

As the NBA gained European players they picked up the Eurosteps. According to some the early period 2008ish was difficult, because the refs were confused and likely to call a travel ( I suspect in ref think it was hey he couldn't do that without traveling). The refs caught on and so did a lot of NBA guards. I suspect this is in Ania's repertoire too. We should be up on this stuff too, right? Anyway, here is an NBA coach explaining 3 variations of Eurosteps driving for a contested layup. [MEDIA=youtube]OPAp7Ro3Xk4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
