Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3847001, member: 1673"] Interesting. We have seen two different things. I presented four tangible examples of what I call quickness: quick reactions on broken plays; poking the ball away from ballhandlers; being better at keeping players in front of her than most of her teammates; and slicing through defenders on drives without getting her shot blocked. For your evidence you noted she is not as quick as Park-Lane. Is anyone our roster as quick as Park-Lane? You also note the subtle adjustments she makes. Sometimes those subtle adjustments require quickness; sometimes no subtle adjustments are required, she suddenly turns on the jets and blows by people. It could be I have biases affecting my observations. I can say it started with Park-Lane in the first Seton Hall game. Even though she schooled Bueckers it did not seem to be by getting by her as easily as she blew by other Huskies, but maybe I’m wrong. Perhaps you have biases affecting what you see. In either case there are metrics by which we can test our competing views on her quickness. We can take the recent Seton Hall or South Carolina games or wait for the next good opponent. We can quantify how frequently Bueckers gets beat in comparison to other Huskies by the same player when in isolation ( as opposed to not judging properly with screens). I’ll go by your call. Shall we review Seton Hall, SC or wait for the next good opponent? [/QUOTE]
