Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4647291, member: 11664"] There was a similar problem with Ines not being a confident enough ball handler or able to penetrate the lane. Maybe some of the our European PG's didn't dedicate themselves to learning how to dribble circles around defenders at an early enough age like Paige & KK have shown. Maybe some PG's were forced to develop the skill because they really love to excel or because they played against tougher competition. Or maybe it's a skill that's based on innate talent that some players just don't have. If they do have it then they haven't displayed it to the level of proficiency of Paige & KK yet. You say that you don't want KK taking shots away from Paige, but if KK enters the game it will probably be to replace Paige or Nika at the PG position. KK wouldn't be taking shots away from Paige because she would be manufacturing shots by creating diversions for our other shooters if she didn't penetrate or make some shots herself. Paige is the 1st one to tell teammates that if the ball gets passed to you then shoot it. That's why the team has rebounders. It's all about baptism by fire. Maybe some NIka fans are worried that KK will be too good when she eventually gets to play. That's food for thought but you know that KK will get multiple chances to display her skills & will score on 3 levels. [/QUOTE]
