The best thing about Nika rocketing to stardom is every third thread hasn't turned into a food fight about her merits.
I never doubted her. I'd seen enough footage of her in the FIBA tourneys and Croatian league to know that she was a find. There were some growing pains, largely self-inflicted because she butted heads with Geno so much. But that same single-mindedness can be an asset on the floor.
UConn point guards don't tend to have gaudy assist numbers because there's so much ball movement. That's why Gabby Williams and Stef Dolson had so many assists. Dorka and Aaliyah have joined that show.
