From all accounts, Katie Lou and Napheesa are the best of friends. If true, opposites must attract because the two buddies couldn't be more different on the court. For example, KLS hit for 78 three point shots, while Collier only made 2. Samuelson is a 6'3" outside gunner who only rarely mixes it up inside. Napheesa is a 6'1" undersized forward who lives in the paint and led the team in offensive rebounds (83). In contrast, KLS had only 19 offensive boards. Collier also was 2nd on the team with 47 blocked shots. Her taller buddy only had 6. If is almost as if someone switched their bodies at birth... lol
They each bring different talent to the floor. Inside power forward cleaning up the boards vs the tall, lean wing who prefers long distance bombs. Interestingly, they were #1 and #2 on the Huskies in free throw % this past season at 91.7% (Collier) and 89.4% (Samuelson). They tried 48 and 47 free throws respectively.
Look for Geno and company to coach both out of their comfort zones and expand their talents. KLS needs to post up and use that height on the inside. Collier is actually a nice 3 pt shooter and Geno will challenge her to shot more often from outside the arc. With 31 starts and 1,523 minutes of playing time as freshman between them, UConn will need their experience and skills this season. Odds are the two best buddies will come through once again. Go Huskies..!!
