Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4032939, member: 6620"] Derek Willis of Her Hoop Stats wrote up a summary of the u19 team and spent some time on Azzi Fudd that I thought BY'ers might find interesting: "It’s odd to think of Fudd, the consensus top recruit, as a role player, but she often drew the assignment of guarding the opposition’s leading scorer. In the gold medal game she spent much of her time shadowing guard Jade Melbourne, who had scored 20 and 19 points in Australia’s previous two games but ended up with just seven points in the final. "For UConn fans wondering how Fudd’s recovery from a severe knee injury would impact her shot, the good news is that despite a poor shooting performance against Australia, she hit 49% of her shots overall and 52% from long range. Fudd’s 13 threes were second on the team to Clark." Here's the whole piece: [URL unfurl="true"]https://herhoopstats.substack.com/p/2021-u19-world-cup-team-usa?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxNjY2Nzg3NywicG9zdF9pZCI6NDAxMjkyMjMsIl8iOiJ2cmdaUCIsImlhdCI6MTYyOTI5MDM3OCwiZXhwIjoxNjI5MjkzOTc4LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMjEzMDciLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.YWHI4PLlRGtKZ1Wcj0pvkqzCZP9EC6OWV7tx1A-gNA0[/URL] Some "Dillon druthers" from the article: - One of the many aspects of Sonia Citron's performance that I enjoyed was her consistency: the fact that she reached double figures every game is one example. - Like the author, I was also jotting down notes for international players that could be collegiate and/or WNBA players. Sike Kone, the powerful forward from Mali, was the clear first thought. The 6'3" paint pounder is 19 and plays for Gran Canaria in Spain. However, I also liked Julia Boros, the pesky 5'9" combo guard from Hungary who led her team to the bronze, leading them in both scoring and assists along the way. She's 19 and plays for BEAC, Ujboda in her native country. Any other thoughts from BY'ers? - And this article identifies what happened/where Jewell Spear was: Turns out that she entered the heath and safety protocol on Aug. 8. And this was not announced because ??? Well, at least we know she wasn't a team disruptor or wasn't spirited away by the Belarus secret police. C'mon USA, you let us know about KLS! Spear's 19 and is an adult. [/QUOTE]
