So much cool stuff in Dan Connolly's for-pay newsletter today about Nika that I can't do it justice without abusing fair use. I'll just put here the distribution chart (which he took from elsewhere anyway). Pretty much predictable but cool. I've said it in game threads as well: despite already helping the freshman to 45 baskets this season, she still misses an open Ashlynn a couple times/game, as she looks for Paige and Aaliyah. Can't fault her: there's trust in those relationships, but still as the season narrows and Ashlynn proves herself, it may be good to look the other way as often. Click to expand  |

I just read Megan Gauer's excellent report on Nika - she had the distribution chart, maybe that's where it came from.

Huh! I was just thinking last night about this very subject, wondering who had been the principal beneficiaries of Nika's passing largesse, but thinking what an effort it would take to go back and revisit more than one hundred games.
Thanks to whoever went to the trouble -- and hopefully they'll be able to add another couple of dozen to Nika's total after the next two weekends.

Too bad the Nika distractors have left the building. I would be curious to see how they would counter all these positives.

For those who may be missing the detractors, let me see if I can fill in:
So 105 of Nika's assists were credited because of a pass to Paige Bueckers. You've got the greatest basketball player on the on the planet on your team and you want a pat on the back because you decided to pass to her? Hello! Of course you passed to her, you would've been yanked from the game if you didn't. Who put it in the basket? Paige. You want credit for that? Please!

Please! /sarc ... of course she got a zillion assists, all she ever does is give someone else the ball ... eventually SOMEone has to DO something with it, and on this team of great scorers, she gets undeserved credit... ... She played more minutes than anyone else, and stumbled into the record... ... it's the only thing she does well... And everyone's favorite... ... We're all just blinded by unquestioned adoration, a mass messianic complex, and cannot see the truth |

I just watched the 4th and 5th fouls on Nika.
4th. Slight contact way after the ball was gone. Fair just fell down on her own.
5th. What the hell was she thinking?
That is all.

Hilarious. With the Nika detractors off the board, we have to imagine what they would say. I love you guys!
