Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 5251319, member: 11252"] She's really becoming quite the player. She had a right to left crossover and I think she finished with the left that was just filthy. Also it's a joy to see her be so strong and athletic after all the injuries. Like Fulwiley couldn't even catch her on some of those breakaway steals. I agree, couldn't be happier for Azzi. I feel like posting this multiple times, but I was at the NC State game a couple years ago and most people just think of Paige in that game (of course she was unreal) but Azzi was kinda the one who gave them a boost in the first half and finished with 19. After that game I was like I completely get the Paige and Azzi thing. Lol. Even prior to that game, one of her breakout games her freshman year was a tough game against USF in the Bahamas. And Geno after that game talked about her being more confident but also talked about Paige and Aziz being the Next DT and Sue Bird. I was even taken back by it, but Geno knows (the duos had 2 healthy tournaments together, 1 championship, 1 heartbreaking defeat although Azzi and Paige's was in the championship game). Anyways I always thought If they are healthy, I'm not guaranteeing a title but they will be hard to beat. I said it a number of times this season she really hasn't been that healthy so the slander was a bit strange. Even hearing her talk this week about her sickness in the championship game a couple years ago was eye opening. I've seen SC fans say a lot about her and her performance in that game. It was just a bit unfair. In any event sky is the limit for her. Like she's still not like 18 months post acl. She finally gets to have a healthy summer hopefully. I just think ppl got her all wrong. Fragile, just a shooter, mentally not strong, slow, won't step up in big games. All nonsense. Lol. [/QUOTE]
