This discussion about KML and Maya caused me to think back to early in Maya's freshman year. I seem to remember some observers of the high school basketball scene (I'm talking about scouting sites) saying that Maya was not a consistent 3-point shooter and would need to work on that part of her game. I just recall being surprised by how well she shot 3-pointers from the start of her career and that some of the scouting services seemed to underestimate that part of her game. Is my memory wrong?
Your memory is right. What I also find curious about that in relation to recent KML and Maya discussions is that those expectations of Maya's shooting ability somehow seem to be retroactively coloring people's memory of Maya's freshman season. I've seen multiple posters reference Maya not being a great shooter yet as freshman in comparison to expectations for KML, but that was Maya's best 3P% season and she attempted basically the same number of threes as a freshman that she did as a senior.
