#azzi asks

[babygoat3]

I just hope azzi breaks whatever she’s going through right now

Do you have any ideas as to what could be happening? Have you seen any of the discourses or the takes/opinions people have been putting out there? You seem to be pretty levelheaded and I’d like to hear your opinion on it.

Slumps happen, and if she’s been sick, that could be part of it. You can keep feeding the ball to Azzi, but she has to work through it mentally, and it looks like she’s overthinking. Though, people are overreacting. With the schedule getting tighter compared to earlier in the season, the quicker turnaround could also be affecting her recovery. I trust she’ll snap out of it, and usually she does better against ranked teams.

Early, but do you think Azzi has the chance to be an All-Star or be ROTY? Considering her starting still, and other rookies that may be in the running

Yes, she has a chance of being ROTY and I believe she will be an All-Star. If Azzi had started earlier, I think she would have been named ROTM.

Arike is holding them back and the coach is holding azzi back

Azzi has been looking great to me, even better since she has been in the starting line up. She looks freer than she did at UConn at the end of the season. Azzi and Jess are my favorite players to watch.

Idk if this is a hot take but I think Sarah and Azzi’s games complement each other better than they did with Paige. They are differnt players with different positions obviously but you can tell they grew up with coaches/bias ball players as parents because they have a similar game in some sense. Idk how to put it lol maybe you understand

I hadn’t considered their parents’ influence. That’s likely a factor. I certainly agree that Sarah and Azzi’s game complements each other better.

The thing with Azzi is people just don’t value fundamental basketball at all especially in guards. I saw this tweet that basically described Azzi and that is Azzi will read the game you give her. If you leave her enough room she’ll take the three or pull up middy. If you want to make her work for it then that is when she will go in her bag to get her shots. A lot of players now just want the highlight reel and the flare they really don’t care about any of the other stuff.

Yes, she’s not a flashy player. I believe that in the WNBA, people will truly appreciate her skills.

What is ur thoughts on dt going on a pr tour glazing azzi now when she never normally mentions azzi

I do find it interesting how Candace Parker and Rebecca Lobo, who were once considered haters, seem to effortlessly uplift and praise Azzi. Their support is well-deserved. The same goes for DT It’s incredibly easy to trust and root for Azzi.

With Paige being there or not. With them having won a natty last season or not. The agenda should always be to want to win…people already look down on the team saying that they won’t make it without Paige im sorry but that should be enough to want them to work harder for it. It’ll be harder of course but that’s what makes it better. No body wants to see a cake walk they wanna see good games.

I’m excited. I’m happy to see how well kk has been playing and I’m hoping this translates to MM. cant really say much since it really just is the BE. Sarah is ready and azzi is too. Azzis composure during tough matchups is what will get them far also SS of course azzi seems to be a big game merchant as others like to say so I’m excited to see that.

The entire team is stepping up. It’s great to see.

I don’t agree with the carry part it’s clear they each were important in the win last year. I think Azzi and Sarah play better defense but imo more plays were set up for just Paige with either Azzi or Sarah last year where as I think this year it’s more team lockdown defense and plays and not just three players carrying

They def carried. Paige played her part during in March but it stops there. Defensively they are so much better. Everybody is finally playing to their full potential.
