The Azzi Experiment

[MooseJaw]

Is she "double-teamed from 3 as she takes the shot" often? I doubt that.

I used to argue with a Laker fan on the old ESPN board. He was a pro-Kobe fan even over Jordan, and one of his comments I'll never forget was that "Kobe is better than Michael Jordan because he takes tougher shots."

I kid you not.

If true, it's only because Jordan was better at being open. during a time when defenses were much better.

Wasn’t this ball they were using a totally different weight? I have to believe that could be a factor?

I'm sure some crappy courts/rims and a different ball had something to do with her lackluster numbers but the fact is she will be under less pressure to shoot this season than in the past as long as Paige is also in the line up.........if she can remain healthy this season, I expect Azzi to average between 18 and 23 points per game on 55% shooting from two and 44% shooting from three..........not too bad at all..........
