Message: [QUOTE="freshler40, post: 3850617, member: 11053"] Paige has a very quick first and second step, almost a roadster off the mark. You see this on steels and easy hoops she makes out of them. After such quick first steps, she slows down approach the hoop on breakaways to lay the ball in smoothly unlike many players that don't adjust their speed and miss the layup. We have several players that do this. The coaches need to show and coach this point to all break a way players. The second point here is Paige's ability to separate herself from the offensive player so it[I][B] "looks[/B][/I]" like that player can easily get a pass. Paige pounces like a cat and is off for an easy hoop on occasion. I don't know if this is innate or can be taught. Paige can look disinterested to her opponent but she is far from it. Her hands are among the best in the game! [/QUOTE]
