Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3759706, member: 5823"] 1-2) Anna did not lead UCONN in three point FG attempts last year. She was not second. She was actually third behind ironically the two people who some folks are accusing of not passing the ball to Anna last year. In Her senior year Kia Nurse was 2nd in 3pt FGA behind KLS and for a long while led the nation in 3pt FG %. Saniya Chong was 3rd in 3 Pt FG attempts as a senior. I din't just throw out two random examples. This is at least the third time you have mentioned CW having an off season. I don't know why you think that would be a good thing for Anna or the team. If CW is having another off season Nika, Paige and EW are the ones that will have to pick up the slack. CW does not play the same position as Anna. 3) 42% 3PT FG for an entire season would be solid and 1% higher than Anna shot last year it would not be excellent. 4) The offense doesn't work that way-Geno doesn't go into the season "designating" someone as the three point shooter. It is a read and react transition offense, where the corners and wings are all occupied with capable shooters-notice that's plural not singular. Anna is a capable wing shooter but so will CW, Paige and Nika. Recall that Anna replaced Kyla Irwin in the starting line up last year. That had nothing to do with being a 3Point shooter because quiet as its kept Kyla was the better 3pt shooter. I try to read every [USER=15]@UConnCat[/USER] becuase i find "wisdom" in them and don't recall the post you are referring to. Evina shot 35% from deep in her two season at TN. 38% during her last season. That should be capable enough for UCONN offense and roughly the same as CW shot last year. Aubrey and ONO both needs to pick up deep shooting. 5) Because the offense is designed to be more equal opportunity and dependent on the defense making a mistake. If the opposing coach knows that Anna (or any other player) is always going to be beyond the arc that becomes easier to defend. What you are proposing is exactly what KLS did at the start of her freshman year. She wanted to linger on the perimeter and wait for the ball and shoot it. Geno didn't tolerate that from KLS and he won't tolerate it from Anna. KLS had to move all over the floor and hunt shots. That what Geno meant when he told her she not working hard enough. 6) IMO Paige will be a very good collegiate 3pt shooter. She will need to be for the UCONN offense to run full throttle. [/QUOTE]
