Who’s the better 3pt shot: Paige or Azzi? Subscription Article.

By the way, I am guessing Paige watching Azzi making 90+ % from the line will push Paige into that class as well.

Had 87% last year.

The Holy Grail for basketball is to go an entire season shooting 50/40/90, which has been accomplished by only a handful of players in the history of college or professional basketball. Last season Paige was oh so close, shooting 52%/46%/87%.

I'm going to cheat and borrow 3% from the 3P and give it to the FT.

2 more made FT’s last season would have given Paige 50/40/90.

Just think of the nightmares opposing coaches will have trying to develop a game plan to defend the perimeter against UConn.

Ummm....how abt nightmares on how to develop a game plan to defend the Uconn Offense , perimeter and interior.

Kaleena was 1 FT away from 50/40/90 in each of her sophomore and senior All-American seasons.

I'm predicting 50/40/90 for Azzi at some point in her UConn career. In fact, in a prior post, I went higher than that. Kaleena had that great hand action on her release and perfect ball rotation. Azzi has different form, but equally reliable. She also has the softest touch I've seen. I've seen a shot of hers come to rest on the support between the rim and backboard. Who does that?

I thought Azzi was a better shooter than Paige by a small margin before last year, but Paige really impressed me. Can we have two 50/40/90 shooters on the same team? I think so! They will push and encourage each other.
