Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4342305, member: 9844"] I think Azzi lived up to expectations as a shooter last year, but did not fully exploit what I think she is capable of as a scorer. For example her number of 2pt field goal attempts per minute was actually below average when compared to the entire data base of division 1 players. Her rate of attempts and efficiency of course on 3's was excellent, but she is much more than a spot up 3 point shooter. In some ways I think she was just being cautious and conservative as a freshmen, but I see a decent ability to take it all the way to the basket, and an extremely good looking pull up jumper off the dribble. In high school she could probably get that sweet looking mid-range jumper off with ease, but perhaps at this level she is far more concerned with getting separation from her defender. She doesn't have the length, or as much deception or shake and bake as Paige for example, but it appears she can stop on a dime, rise quickly and smoothly and has a quick release. I think she can get that shot against most defenders, and with better health, more experience and confidence, and more urging from Geno that will be much more of a go to weapon this year. [/QUOTE]
