Agree. These two genuinely like each other. And that chemistry carries over onto the court where u can see a nice partnership developing. Nika lets Paige play more like a 2 - where her shooting skills can b fully unleashed. Evidence? BOTH of Paige's 30 point games came w Nika playing significant minutes.

Paige is a once in a generational player, girl is so intelligent humble\killer instinct (dianna) w.movement off ball, (curry), get her own shot,(maya) efficiency/unselfish(Sue) I said it all yr versatility(Stewie) can flat out 🏀, but can we talk bout Westbrook, she’s gorgeous (team photo) model shoot 😉 and she balls, 1 thing I like bout no fans is being able to hear her a few times w. Blocks “gimmie that sh**” & classic And1!! I watch every game, I like nikas progress, it’s interesting what geno said w. Paige, wonder what geno said to azzi fudd recruiting. Lastly this comments all pre game but Minnesota showing up I expected this from Paige no cap maybe not the Pt’s but what bout her fellow MN jalen Suggs killin it for Zags. Now post game analysis Paige is doing exactly what geno asked... nika and Williams makes Paige more of a star. Tbh nika honestly almost had a quadruple double so many steals/deflections the fact you can have her run the point with 3 great ball handlers. When more attention against stronger competition on Paige either nikas 3s drop or Williams can always go off then you have liv/evina/Edwards playing at a high tempo oh and there missing Anna this is a scary team if they can defend like they did today. Their effeciant offense but UConn is known for that hard nose defense and they brought it today some miscommunications here and there but overall defense was 💪. Oh and shoutout to the HS/2wk college player saylor for getting her first bucket. Let’s show up for SC and go huskies
