Jeff's quotes are fine but Paige is solid gold.


“I take pride in that, being a playmaker for my team,” said Bueckers who is averaging 6.3 assists and just 1.7 turnovers per game through three games. “I always put others before myself and I don’t care about my individual scoring. I just want to do whatever it takes to help the team win. And if that’s getting everybody involved and making my teammates better, that’s what I’ll do.”

She is special. If all goes as expected, she’ll be wearing the USA uniform for many years.

She talks like a UConn player already...
 
I find the USA games hard to watch as they are so static on offense and transition defense is still painful. And I find watching out of bounds plays with five players getting ready to receive a pass for ten seconds before someone realizes there is not a sixth player on the team to pass the ball. I don't think I have seen such a disorganized USA team at any level and I suspect Jeff may be trying to do too much coaching - he certainly never stops shouting instructions.

A lot of recruits know what to say but if you watched her high school and AAU games you see it every game. She may take a few shots in the first period but mostly she tries to find the other 4 players and it's fun to watch her distribute, like a mother hen feeding her brood.

And her strength and speed seems to have increased over the last year, with still another year to work before she's in Storrs. Luckily she has a powerful HS team and a great coach. Too many HS years are wasted by great players on teams that have trouble running a layup line.

I said when she a recruit that I would follow her where ever she ended up. I'm sure glad I don't have to root for the Irish or the Vols. :)

Belgium have been pretty impressive, didn’t think much of them coming into the tournament. A country rapidly on the rise for sure.
 
One other thing I noticed about Paige is that when she was on the bench in the 4Q and the backups are playing and they call a time out to get to the bench, Paige is always the first (and most energetic) off the bench to greet and high five the subs.

That has to be for Edwards. There are a couple of decent players besides her but nobody in her prospect range.

Hopefully Edwards feels the love (who else flew around the globe to see her play)

There's gotta be other schools there, there always are. Now whether they are there for Canada or another country's players, I do not know. But only one school watching Edwards would be shocking.

Spent the day watching U19 FIBA, concentrating on Paige. Looks like we got a good one. As disorganized as this team was (they acted like it was a pick up game, put that down to Jeff’s coaching or maybe rotating that many players destroys continuity), Paige was disruptive upon defense and passed well, scoring when needed. If I were a college coach, of all the players on the floor, I would pick her, though Boston had her moments. Mostly I’m glad I figured out how to watch games on big screen tv without breaking a sweat.

Canada won its Round of 16 game over Argentina 82-50.

Aaliyah Edwards had 14 points and 11 rebounds.
 
The US and Germany in a tight, defensive battle at the half: US up 40-33. Threes keeping Germany in the game but they aren't hitting anything else. Bueckers has been efficient and made a couple of terrific passes--I think she got short-changed an assist--but picked up a bad second foul and had to sit the last five minutes of the half.

The US could really use another wing or two. Someone who can shoot and makes plays on offense.

It seems the youtube stream is not working and all I am getting is a very low quality facebook stream



Is everyone having these issues?

Yes, all streams tonight have been on Facebook only.
 
Bueckers called for a highly questionable third foul early in the 2nd half and has to sit.

We'll see what the US is made of with her out.

Too bad the #1 recruit in the 2019 class wasn't a wing who could shoot from outside and also make plays. Jones would have been totally unhelpful in that role...

Should've switched her in for Brink who looks overmatched and just sits.

Diamond Miller hasn't seen the floor in this game and has been a non-factor in the tourney as well. Walz mostly relying on 7/8 players.

On the positive side, Celeste Taylor looking very good. Lead out to 52-39.
 
Paige gets back in late in the third, makes two big plays: a driving layup off glass and an excellent pass to Boston for a basket.

Hailey Van Lith's lack of recognition of where the ball should be delivered and when makes me think she won't be a PG at the next level.
 
Americans win 79-61

Bueckers finished with 13 points, 5 assists, and 5 steals

0 assists / 5 TO's uurgh.

Also, Howard did not have a good game. 0-5 from 3.

On the other hand, besides Paige, Belebi continues her assault on gravity. One
extra terrestrial block (Stewie like) near the end of game comes to mind.
 
Nice little clip of the USA team just prior to leaving for the tournament.

 
Here's the post-game release from USA Basketball site:
USA U19 Women Down Germany 79-61

A few thoughts to add to those already mentioned:
- Caitlin Clark went two from two from three-point land, the only U.S. player to hit a three. Granted, the U.S. only took 12 attempts and and Howard was 0-5.
- Celeste Taylor's fine play in this game underscores why she gets chosen for these squads: fundamentally solid, good head on her shoulders and a half-step faster than you think. Solid player.
- I'm still a bit perplexed (envious?) on how a girl from Long Island Lutheran ends up in Austin, Texas. Yes, I've heard Coach Aston is both persistent and persuasive on the phone and Austin is Austin. But I wonder, even worry, how the recent performances of the Longhorns will affect her growth. On the other hand, perhaps her excellence and ability to make everyone play well will rub off. Stay tuned on that front.
 
Looked at the boxscore and was shocked to see Aliyah Boston’s +/- was -2, the only player with a negative one. Egbo, Taylor, and Van Lith all had the highest.

Expected more from Bessoir. Not sure what the outcome would’ve been if they had Nyara Sabally, but then again, a lot of good players the US doesn’t have too.
