Yes. That pass was right on the money. Clearly.
It's called "Threading the Needle".
High IQ Basketball Players know how to execute it.
She hit her teammate with a FUNDAMENTAL bounce pass that was
waist high.
She hit her teammate as she was running... in full stride... INSIDE the paint.. at the dotted line.
Yes, That IS a High Basketball IQ play.
That's exactly how you thread the needle.
Because her teammate does NOT need to dribble... if she's a Center catching the ball... AT THE DOTTED LINE.
Just Catch the ball. Turn. Hit the layup. Simple as that.
She's not filling the lane... on the wing... outside the paint.
She's right in front of the basket.
A Center should be able to finish ANYWHERE inside the paint. That's their job.
A Center who cannot catch the ball... INSIDE the paint... ahead of the pack... while moving... needs to work on their HANDS.
Here you go...
Watch all the NBA guys who pass between multiple defenders & through people's legs and whatnot... to teammates who are on the fast break.
Before you keep talking about Basketball IQ.... Count how many dudes "Thread the Needle" in this video.
