Soooo how can Azzi improve

I watch every game. I discern that she is regularly beaten by her opponent off the dribble, requiring others to help. It has been an issue since her return and is entirely understandable given her time away from the court due to injury and te reality that it takes time to get back in to game shape. She’s getting there but will be much better on the defensive end after a solid summer. BTW - I’m an Azzi fan having watched her for years here in the DMV and caught several of her games in both travel and St. John’s play.

I am not in agreement with your observations--I do not see that Azzi is being beaten off the dribble frequently... In fact in several of the videos highlighting UConn players, Azzi has been commended for her defense in addition to her shooting prowess... As far as guard defense, I am surprised that you failed to mention Paige, who of our starting guards is the weaker on defense and often is caught out of position...
 
I don't see Azzi getting beat much off the dribble any more. Healing her foot seems to have really worked. Gotta say though that Paige has not been the same defensively recently still. Hopefully that happens soon.
 
When Azzi is not on the floor Paige had better be. And vice versa. Over next weekend we should run play after play for both of them. Keep both of them fresh by giving them 30 minutes PT max. They will score 60 points by themselves if we do.
 
I heard somewhere that Azzi is an exquisite player.

The post is about Azzi - not Paige. You’re entitled to your opinion ~ I’m not seeking your agreement with my own.

As great as she is, If she develops a step back jumper for next year she will be unguardable.
 
Fudd will improve as all freshmen do when the have a year under their belts....her shooting is great, driving to the basket, guarding opponents, fighting for the ball: all improving as time moves on. The only way I could really see improvement is if she grew 2 or 3 inches to move in and out of the post....:confused:
