Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2295789, member: 6761"] What am I missing? I don't see any true "post" moves in either video. I see her driving to the hoop, I see her using her size to block shots. But MoJeff could do that, too. Post moves are: back-to-the-basket shots (turn around jumpers, quick pivot moves from the foul line, hook shots, etc) and feeding others underneath or inside-outside passes. In recent years, Stef was the classic post, while Stewie did some of that, but played in 5-0 motion offense, while they played more 4-1 motion with Stef, because she wasn't as mobile and didn't have Stewie's agility or range, and thus Stef showed up more as classic post. I don't doubt that Z might evolve into a Stewie type player (especially if she stays 2 yrs at UConn). But I don't think she's as quick and agile as Stewie. I think she sort of makes up her mind what shot she's going to take and then does so. She has spots on the court and plays in her mind--pretty much like EDD--and when she senses certain moments and defensive positions, she naturally goes to a small selection of moves and shots. Stewie, on the other hand, was all instinct and reflex, and made things up as she went along (which is not to say that she didn't practice everything all the time: just that she was quite spontaneous in games). That meant that Stewie could take the post and create as easily as when she took the 3 or 4 position. Z will be an incredibly effective player at college and pro-levels. But she is what she is.
