Message: [QUOTE="cferraro04, post: 4457478, member: 267"] Predictions during the Azzi Fudd, Dorka rehab weeks... Nika Muhl took 3 shots per game in her first 5 games. She took 5 shots in the Providence game and seven shots in the ND game after Fudd went down. She consistently averaged 1 of 3 in her first 5 games, then shot 2 or 5 in game 6 (Providence) and shot 4-7 against ND. I think Muhl will try to consistently take 8 shots per game. If she does I think she will up her average from 5.4 points per game to about 10 points per game. Lou Lopez-Senechal is currently shooting 48.9 percent in field goals; 51.2 percent in threes. She averages 12 shots per game and 7 of those are from three. Lou averages 17.4 points per game. Lou will up her average to 18 shots per game with her current shooting percentages that will lift her point average per game to about 23 points per game. Aaliyah Edwards has been averaging 10 shots per game for 15.7 points per game. All we need for Aaliyah to do is continue to do what she is doing...she is averaging a double / double. If she can continue to give us 15.7 and 10 rebounds per game she is on pace to have an All American season. Aubrey Griffin does not need to take deep threes...she should settle for the mid-range jumper and slashing to the basket. Aubrey shoots at a 57.4 percent clip from inside the arc. Her three point shooting average is only 27.3 percent. Aubrey has been averaging 8.9 shots per game...for an 11.7 points per game average. If she upped her number of shots per game to 14 and stayed with what she does best, slashing and spot up mid-range jumpers she could up her average to 15 points per game. Caroline Ducharme is the one player who has a huge upside based on what she was able to do last year when Paige went down. Caroline had a career high against St. Johns (28 points). She had six games where she scored 18 or more points. She finished the season with a 9.8 point average. Currently, Ducharme is averaging 17 minutes per game. She has been averaging 5 shots per game. Caroline needs to up her number of shots per game to 10 and she will be able to take her average from 5.5 to about 11 points per game. Our bench (Amari, Ayanna and Ines) have been averaging 8.0 points per game with Ayanna giving us 3.1; Amari 3.4 and Ines .6. Our bench will get more minutes now that the IR list has grown. Azzi Fudd's 31.1 minutes must be redistributed. If Ayanna's minutes go from 12.9 to 18; Amari's minutes go from 6.2 to 12 and Ines' minutes goes from 5.5 to 10...that would account for 16 of Fudd's 31 minutes. Caroline will pick up 12 of those minutes which would bring her to 29 minutes. That would leave the final 3 minutes of Fudd's time to be spread out among the other starters. This more than likely see an increase in point production off the bench from 8 points to somewhere around 12 points...this would give the team an average of 85-86 points per game...this would keep the team right in the same ball park that they are in now which is 84.9 points per game.
