Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4718565, member: 5798"] [B]Paige Bueckers is more dangerous now[/B] than at any other time in her life. why????? She is healthier than at any other time. She's the beneficiary of three years of working out continuously in UConn's weight room under the watchful eye of their trainer. She has matured. Paige will be 22 before the season begins (October 20, 2001) She's not a wide-eyed 18-year-old freshman looking to learn the system and her new teammates. She's not worried about impressing Geno either. She's already done that. This is her team and she knows that. More than anything else, [B]Paige wants to win a championship this year. [/B]This is her 4th year in WCBB. She absolutely knows what it's going to take to do it. She'll be one of the older players on the court for UConn this year. She knows exactly what Geno wants. She's like a coach on the floor. [B]She'll be patient, read the floor, and won't make unforced rookie/freshman mistakes. [/B]She'll make good/timely passes to teammates when they are warranted/available, and she'll take her own shots when warranted and available. She's not going to force anything, she doesn't have to. Too many other good shooters on the floor with her. With Paige back at the wheel, team turnovers will go down this year. ;) Paige's M.O. this year......... give up a good shot for a great shot, especially if one of our players is being double-teamed. Death by a thousand paper cuts. :cool: Don't try to win the game in the 1st quarter. Her teammates will follow her lead. Scoring points this year will not be a challenge for UConn. Keeping opponents under control defensively will. THAT'S what I want to see. How dominant will UConn be on the defensive end of the floor? :eek: UConn is going to be a lot of fun to watch this year. :D [/QUOTE]
