In the Courant quoting Geno:
“She shot the ball great in the scrimmage and she didn’t hesitate,” Auriemma said. “She got a lot of shots and she made a lot of them. So to me, ‘is she going to make enough of them?’ is not an issue, it’s ‘can we get her enough of them?’”
Who you ask? Azzi of course.
And then this other freshman weapon:
Auriemma has also been pleased with the team’s ability to get to the basket, something that he said has been a point of emphasis. Returners Christyn Williams and Evina Westbrook are proven slashers, but Auriemma said Ducharme, who is primarily known for her 3-point shooting, is right there with them.
“She’s able to use her length to get to the basket a lot,” he said. “Between her and Christyn, and Azzi can too because people come out on her so hard, we’ve probably gotten the ball on the rim more times already this year than we did all last year,” Auriemma said. “[Ducharme is] really good at it.”
