UConn once again has one of the best backcourts in the country. While last year’s guards were among the nation’s elite, the addition of two top-five recruits in Azzi Fudd and Caroline Ducharme, alongside the already great core of Paige Bueckers, Christyn Williams, Evina Westbrook and Nika Mühl likely makes this the deepest and most talented guard groups in the nation. Here’s a look at what to expect from each of the Huskies’ guards this season:
Christyn Williams
We got a sample of Williams’ full potential in the 2021 postseason. Not only did she emerge as the Huskies’ best on ball defender, fully shutting down the toughest players in each of UConn’s Big East Tournament matchups, she was also explosive on the offensive end, scoring 20 or more points in each of the Huskies’ last three NCAA Tournament games.
