Excellent work, EricLA, which some have said and everyone should have.

I'd just note one observation about Azzi's shooting, which really was mediocre to worse throughout the tournament. Her technique is accurately called peerless but, when compared with a feel shooter like Paige who is apt at shooting as she moves laterally, Azzi so far has shown she needs to go exactly vertical to make a shot.

Too often she'd make a move toward the top of the lane and fire a shot while moving left or right that would usually be off target, left or right, not in distance. She and her coaches need to assess whether she has it in her to make those shots when she's drifting left or right in the air. If she doesn't, she should stick to what she does better than anyone else. It's very understandable. If you watch the countless videos of Azzi practicing, you just don't see her shooting the shots that Paige is so good at...

You actually make that point, EricLA, without saying it in so many words. Thanks for your post, which clearly has inspired many excellent responses.
