It was bad at times - but ended the season at 72.9%.
Last year was 72.5%
The three years prior were over 80%

I hope we see more than 1 person handle the ball on the court at a time, it would make us harder to ride down the court.
For the record a grand total of 3 WBB teams shot 80% or better (UCSB .808, Lehigh .808, Murray St .802)
There were also 3 men's teams to break the 80% mark led by Wisconsin shooting an eye popping .826!
This is a good start. I see Hansford is departing - probs best as she hesitated too often and was lost on defense. A few others might need to move in as well!
After watching her clips,
1) Elite shot creator
2) She will put the defense in a blender if she isn’t forced to spend 15 straight possessions just dumping it straight to the post
3) Best motor/athleticism combo I can recall in Bills tenure

Welcome Jada. Delighted you are now a Cyclone. Love your attitude and ambition for next year. Go Cyclones.
She did score in double digits against South Carolina (and was one of only 4 who scored at all) plus I think she is a fairly capable defender.
I know Emily is an all time great but she really struggled at times last year and I think Jada could be an upgrade.
Emily exceled as a ball distributor. I think we will have to see if Jada can be a good replacement in that department, she only averaged 2.9 APG where Emily averaged 6.2 APG.
I agree and she was playing through limits in time on the floor last year. People keep talking about speed/quickness but for me I want a player who is in control not just rushing up the floor. My hope is that Jada will be that quick player who plays under control, sees the floor and the possible plays to get us a score.
Im not worried about assists or turnovers when it comes to our PG spot. they'll both come when you play with Audi.
I care about being able to create your own shot and she can excel at that.

I also care about decision making when you drive. I'm a little concerned about being able to get in the paint and just taking a shot when the correct play is to pass out to an open shooter. The equal number of assists and turnovers could be a result of being on a bad team, but could also be a problem with driving in and trying to take a shot that isn't there rather than finding the open player.
I know its highlights but there is some really nice passes to their big in here.
Just watched Jada's highlights. Some remarkable plays in there, some of them ill-advised. So, I ask, not knowing much about our wbb program (I'm old, please don't beat me up. I'll be paying a lot of attention to next year's team. Gettin' into it.)
Any thoughts about how the conversation between Jada and the coaches went? Will the coaches attempt to trim her more wild moves, or do they want her to do the same?
Ball distribution, with Addy and Audi, will Jada be expected to drive and dish more than at Arizona?
Boy, though, she is so fun to watch play.

Sounds like Addy played a large role in getting her here.
