I would say that Paige is more the "head" of the team because she is absolutely brilliant on the court, her vision is just other worldly. She reminds me so much of Wayne Gretzky in that sense, she always sees how the play is going to unfold before anyone else does & like him she also has the skill to bend it to her will. And she will only get better.
I think it is fair to say Nika is the "heart"of the team, inspiring her teammates with her never give up no matter what determination. She doesn't know the meaning of the word "quit" no matter how difficult the situation might be. She has improved since her freshman year and I believe she can get even better.
The Huskies need both head & heart to win. They're damn lucky to have both in Paige & Nika.
No slight at all on Nika but Paige's heart is just as big. I recall the last 2 games before the injury in her second season against Seton Hall and ND. She was absolutely flying on the defensive end getting putting her body (what there is of it ) on the line again and again. That body crunch by Maya Dodson was brutal. Her head should probably tell her she is too valuable to launch herself into these scrums but her heart says otherwise
