One more Fun w/ Numbers on the newest Husky, Azura Stevens. If you take all her stats and match them up with UConn's players, she comes out near the top in many categories. Obviously, she would not have played as long in each game, but keep in mind her stats are only for the 25 games she played in for Duke. Also, one could argue that anyone playing at UConn has the benefit of passing to Stewie or Tuck for assists or getting passes from Moriah for easier baskets. In any case, here is a very unscientific comparison of Stevens vs the Huskies.

1. Points - Her 472 would have been 2nd on UConn, behind Stewie.
2. Minutes - 781 would be 6th, ahead of Gabby at 708.
3. Shots - 353 would fall 2nd, with Morgan third at 349.
4. Baskets - 189 made shots is 2nd, just ahead of MoJeff at 185.
5. Rebounds - 241 would place 2nd, ahead of Gabby at 213.
6. Made 3 pt shots - Her 19 made threes would have been 6th.
7. Assists - 41 would only be 7th at UConn.
8. Shooting % - Azura shot 53.5% overall, good enough for 5th.

Azura has a whole year to learn the UConn system. Production overall may fall as shots, rebounds, etc.. are spread around many more talented players. But, she will excel and be near the top of many stats for the 2017-18 season.

Go Huskies..!!
