I agree nerves and overthinking has something to do with it. She's missed several bunnies this year. And, I also expect any freshman to make mistakes and be inconsistent.From comments made by Meg Culmo and others, my impression is that Ayanna is as frustrated as everyone else with her play. She may be thinking too hard. Remember Asjha Jones as a freshman? Geno said she was “too freaking smart” and overthought everything. It wasn’t until she relaxed and just played that she began to excel. Ayanna may also be feeling additional pressure when Dorka was out, them Aaliyah, and trying too hard to fill in for them.
But, she hasn't shown any glimpses especially with her offense. Most of points have been easy putbacks. She tried to create a move tonight and she was looking at her feet and her dribble the whole time. And, this was against a poor team in a blowout. She'll need to work on her offensive game a lot in the summer if she wants significant playing time next year.
