Olivia Miles' Passing IQ Is Off the Charts: Gravity, No-Look Dimes & MVP-Level Vision

Olivia Miles' gravity is the whole engine of this offense, and I don't think it gets talked about enough.⁣

Watch the flare pass to McBride here. That's a looping, backspin-heavy pass that has to be on time and on target, and she drops it in like it's nothing.⁣
⁣
Then the counter off the same look, a lefty hook pass to Miles herself for a catch and shoot in the midrange. Off-hand touch like that from a 23 year old rookie is not normal. Her own teammate is still talking about it 30 seconds later with fans courtside.⁣
⁣
And on the next set, look at how much respect her downhill drive commands. Coach Reeve knows the screener's defender has to help off, which opens the pin down for McBride and the slip for Collier. The no-look isn't for style, it's to freeze the defense, and the backhand delivery lets her rip it into a tight window with mustard on it.⁣

This is what elite processing speed combined with elite touch looks like. Rookie of the Year is one thing. MVP talk is starting to make a lot of sense. #shorts
