Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4823831, member: 7511"] One additional aspect of Paige’s game is her constant movement off the ball on offense. Years ago it was said that John Havlicek used to run 5 miles a game, constantly curling and running defenders into screens. Opponents hated guarding him, because they could do a great job 90% of the time, but the other 10% of the time, Havlicek would put up 30 on them. With Nika & KK handling more of the pg duties for the Huskies, Paige is free to run her defender all over the court, through screens, flashing out to the 3-pt line, backdoor cuts, curls and post ups in the paint. On her first 3-pt shot against Louisville, Paige ran her defender into a hard screen from Nika, received a pass from KK and buried the shot. As the season goes on, and Paige’s teammates get more comfortable in the offense, opposing coaches will experience nightmares trying to figure out how to defend Paige off the ball. [/QUOTE]
