Message: [QUOTE="MooseJaw, post: 4050998, member: 10835"] I agree with your premise, the job is hers to lose. She may be the starter for the entire year, does that mean she is the best player to be our 1? I think that we all know that she wasn't that player last year and it's a stretch to think she will be this season. Nika is a pit bull defensively, I love watching her quick hands and aggressive mind set. Consider for example Azzi takes the majority of time instead of Nika, she scores in the mid teens and we give up 4-5 more points per game we have a sizable plus in offensive fire power. Of the returning players Nika missed the most games with injury, a one year occurrence or is she injury prone? Time will tell on the injury front as well as whether she shows progress as a more complete offensive player. What we don't know, will any of our freshmen come in let their play demand that they be on the floor like Paige and AE did this past season. I hope we have 2-3 freshmen who come in shine, putting the burden on Geno's shoulders to figure out the best 5 to start, the best subs and the best rotations. I know most of us fell in love with Nika last season, I did as well, I want her to be that player. will she be that player, maybe. I know I will be a Nika fan if she starts or comes off the bench, it only matters that Geno plays the players that give us the best chance to win. [/QUOTE]
