USA Basketball--Paige and her teammates

[BobbyJ]

Fudd's parents did not need to pay thousands of dollars to quality instructors. They are quality instructors themselves. That said, it is also true that Azzi is self-motivated.

That's true. My point was that many motivated kids work with skills trainers and the trainers are happy to work with them for nominal cost. And even Fudd goes to NYC to work with Chris Brickley for fresh perspective. There's a 4 minute video on YouTube of her getting instruction from him. Couldn't link it.

I've watched each of the games that team and the 2018 U17 team played at least 10 times apiece. They are perhaps the best U17 and U19 teams of all time. In truth, I thought the U17 team with Fudd, Horston and Haley Jones was the better team. On that team Von Lith barely saw floor time.

2010 U-17 had Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck, Elizabeth Williams, Jewell Loyd, and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, among others.

From the videos I watched, Clark didn't start, barely played. Paige started, and was voted MVP. Here are the final stats. Very interesting.

Wow! Cameron Brink played the least minutes- by far. Yet she's the starting center for the #1 ranked (NCAA tournament seeding committee) top-seed, Stanford. That was the kid who played the least on that U-19 team?!?

Wow!

All of those kids, were they male, would turn pro immediately after this season. They have nothing left to prove in the amateur league- NCAA.

Aside from Stewie I'd still take the 2018 team.

Aside from Stewie I'd still take the 2018 team.

As would I.

 

[Boreifs]

As would I.

2018 is also the first year they started using D3 coaches instead of high school. It made a huge difference.

2013 U 19 team was pretty impressive as well!
