I’m curious how junior guard, Aggie (Agnes Emma-Nnopu), will develop and be utilized this season. She is a tenacious defender and an opportunistic rebounder, yet she has seemed to be a tweener — not an aggressive scorer and playmaker for a guard spot and too undersized to be considered for one of the forward spots. Tara has put her in big games as a defender when nothing else seemed to be working. She stayed glued to the opposition's shooter, but often got into foul trouble.
It seems that for a player to rise above the high talent level of the other women on the team and make it into the lineup, a set of circumstances must occur — a player must make significant improvement over the summer, impresses the coaches like no other player, or be on a trajectory as a team leader.
I think Aggie has the potential. I recall seeing her make 3 three-pointers in a quarter of a scrimmage last year. I've watched her be team-oriented, supportive, and hard working throughout the season. And, as the past season was drawing to a close, she became more aggressive as a shooter and a driver.
Her status as a starter for the 2022-23 team remains to be seen. There is a need for a guard to step up this season and make their mark on the team! I hope Aggie can be that person!. She seems like a very fine human being with the talent and work-ethic to be a real asset to the team. We need her to step up, I hope she does!
