UConn rlly where talented minds go to acquire deferential system player mentalities. Geno got two years to get Sarah used to heliocentric ball, I’m not going through this again.
Thank you so so much to anon who made this highlight of Azzi's defense and sent it to us!
Players are shooting 39% from the field when guarded by Azzi, and she only allows 0.55 points per possession when defending the PnR.
Let's show some love to anon's hard work and Azzi's incredible defense ❤️#AZZIFORDPOY #WINGSUP #TIARASON

some of yall have fallen prey to talking points with no basis just bc they’re frequently repeated. I don’t even think you’d be able to define good onball defense in a way that decidedly excludes 35 but encompasses the generally agreed upon good onball defenders in the league
in general the words floor raiser and ceiling raiser get tossed around so much that I don’t think there’s rlly a standard interpretation but imo azzi is an offensive ceiling raiser and a defensive floor raiser.
I sleep easy knowing home and away announcers specifically acknowledge her defense, media members / coaches are taking note, and the social media narrative leans heavily positive about her defense despite dogging her on all other fronts. “digiornio” cannot stop this movement
azzi will deadass have nights where she’s fatally allergic to shooting a basketball and Jose will stay play her for 37.5 minutes. when ur defense is undeniable…
