What makes Azzi so special?

[CL82]

High school coaches talk about OMG moments with her and how they tried, and failed, to stop her.

“She’s just such a difference maker,” Georgetown Visitation coach Mike McCarthy says. “Beforehand you’re game planning, O.K., we’re going to switch defense, no help on her, man-to-man but no help on her, or zone or box-and-1. She takes what you give her. If you lay off her, she’s going to score from the outside, you go get her, she goes by you. Somebody picks her up, she hits the open man. It’s just very high IQ. It’s fun to watch her if you’re not coaching against her.”

McCarthy remembers watching Fudd warm up right in front of his chair. He says she made 35 to 40 of the 50 3s she attempted.“You’re watching and going, Oh my god,”

Azzi is the best high school player I've seen in person. She's really, really, really good.

"Shrug" Some people will just have to see this kid to believe her.

A few sentences from the article. 'Scribner' is Johathan Scribner, her coach at St. John's College High School.

In spring 2018, Fudd enjoyed a moment as a freshman that served as a prelude to the present. Scribner remembers the Capital Classic, in which a national underclassmen team played a senior squad from the DMV area. Bueckers and Fudd suited up together, both starting and sharing moments like a chat at the top of the key during a free-throw break.

“The two of them on the floor together at that moment, it was scary,” Scribner says.

With Fudd and Bueckers reunited, the potential is a scary thought, indeed.

Still the best comment made about Azzi (by her hs coach): "She's just better at basketball than anyone else."

She's always talking about somebody else in the end.

"...just a lot of little kids were here, so just being a good role model for them was a really good opportunity."

A great mindset and awareness. Lots of younger girls coming up look up to her and Azzi as role models. They are watching her every move off and on the court. There are untold thousands of up and coming young female basketball players that hope to one day be just like her. We know she has a HUGE following.

They're at the right school for being bad. UConn is "bad" for women's college basketball. So it looks like a perfect match to me.
