Thought I'd compare these three since there was talk about them competing for ROY. Although Caitlin has the highest PPG, her efficiency trails Paige and Hailey respectively by a 1/4 and 1/5 of a point per FGA. Caitlin may be out scoring Paige and Hailey but she has taken almost twice as many field goal attempts at a lower percentage made. Just out of curiosity I included their national rank for a given statistic. The three periods (...) indicate insufficient numbers to be ranked or they were so far behind they received no ranking. Efficiency (PPFGA) is points per field goal attempt (total points - free throws made) / field goal attempts). Geno says rebounding is effort. Must be true. Van Hailey at 5'7" is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game. Paige has only 12 3PT attempts. But I don't have a problem with this, since Geno tells the freshmen to focus on what they do well. She manages the team's offense well which is far more imporant than dropping threes for now. They will happen naturally. No need to force the threes. Paige may not be your "normal" freshman but she is a freshman. Remember Stewie started her freshman year explosively. But then Oops! the dreaded freshman wall rose up. The tough teams played her tough and her confidence flagged ... until tournament time.:) We will have to see how Paige plays against the big dogs, Stanford, Baylor, South Carolina, etc. Hopefully her freshman wall will be just a low hurdle.
