McDonald's All American Game Tonight

I really like Juju Watkins.

If you watch KK’s highlight videos, she finishes through contact as well as anyone I’ve ever seen in HS.

Yes she is kind of a bully of a guard with a great handle good shot and is quick with the ball but not fast running or with the ball.

 

[darrell]

Both Ashlynn and KK had an impressive showing.

I really like Juju Watkins.

She’s an incredible talent, doesn’t seem to enjoy passing however.

 

[mrmojack]

Lots of talent in WBB.

I was impressed with Shade, she reminded me of Grace Berger (minus 3 inches of height).

 

[Charliebball]

I don't think you can make any definitive judgments based on an all-star game.........KK brings UConn much needed speed and Ashlynn is an old school baller who will do whatever it takes to win..............both fit the mold of UConn players skill wise and with basketball smarts........they are going to be great additions to the team......

I missed the game any chance the game can be watched on Utube?

That's a pretty good comparison though I'm hopeful Shade will be a better 3-point shooter than Berger. Shade has been working on her 3-point shot and we saw some of that tonight. Her strongest shot is her mid-range pull-up; she's a good leaper with good hang-time. I'm thinking she'll have the best pull-up jump shot since Crystal and before her Renee. Sue Bird's was the best ever of course. She is also a terrific passer (great vision) and seems to have a nose for the ball. She's not afraid to rebound either.

The good news for some of the players is that college basketball games will be nothing like tonight's game. The bad news for some of the players is that college basketball games will be nothing like tonight's game.

Good thing she's going to USC. She'll instantly be the best player on roster next year, passing is optional for her.

Phenomenal player. Attacking mindset. She should build a mansion at the free throw line, she'll be there a lot.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Is there a box score for this game? Cam't find it.

 

[Dillon77]

Do the kids know they're allowed to pass?

It's a four-letter word at all-star games.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Next year when Muse joins up with Kiki Rice, and the two combine with the 6'4" German post Bessoir and Rice's fellow freshman Jaquez, UCLA will be incredibly tough.

 

[Dillon77]

Even before the long half court almost 3 I think Hidalgo all things considered Hidalgo looks like the best player on the court. She’s the real deal over everyone else. Fulwiley showed out in the first half but time tells all and beginning to 3 quarters, Hidalgo is for real like really for real.

It's the eight -- 8 -- steals that catch my attention.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

The rotation for PG for Connecticut will be top in the mind of Coach Geno. Shade can shoot well from outside, and KK Arnold is aggressive on the drive. We'll see how Paige and Azzi recover from their injuries. In any case, those four will play serious minutes. We're not going to give the ball to Nika for 33 minutes a game next year. It's going to be different, for sure.

 

[enigmatic]

I'll flat out say I'm excited for the 23-24 WCBB season and anxious to see how the talent pool of the HS c/o 23 transpire at their respective schools.

 

[oldude]

KK reminds me a lot of Zia Cooke. But KK is a bit quicker and her handle is nasty.

They also have the big from Oregon who got hurt. Dugalic, I think her name is. Jones as well who took strides later in the season. They are a team to watch.

But USC is also a team to watch. As their big recruit this past year missed the whole season due to a near tragedy. PAC 12 is gonna be a lot of fun.

I've only seen the highlights but Kk is pretty much what I expected. Shade, because I've heard a lot about her physicality and mid range, as others have mentioned I thought she was going to be 6'0 like Grace Berger and physically as big.but she looks a bit shorter and smaller, like a high school kid would.

What happened to USC's recruit?

 

[MilfordHusky]

I watched the first 5 minutes before going out to dinner. I thought KK looked as good as anyone.

As others have noted, an All-Star game is misleading in terms of showcasing skills.

Time to watch the rest of the game.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I knew that Fulwiley was quick. She reminds me of Moriah Jefferson with Caitlin Clark range. How did she drop nearly 10 spots in the ranking?

 

[MilfordHusky]

After Fulwiley was on fire in Q2, she bricked some shots in Q3.

I was liking Hidalgo's quickness and ball control, then she hit a 30' bomb to then Q3. I wish she were going to Princeton instead of ND.
