Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5061069, member: 10435"] I don't see Paige starting at the 4 again so I don't see 4 guards as a steady diet or as a preconceived strategy. I don't see the risk of injury worth it to Paige and the downside of her playing out of position offensively and the loss of development to our bigs, Ice, Jana, and Sarah. I also have watched Chen and she is a very good player so I actually see her pushing for a starting position. She has a better all around offensive game and is a more 1-2 guard than KK although KK is faster obviously. I don't know if strength is the remedy for KK, I think it is judgment and discretion and the lack of a true pull up move. She got into a lot of trouble last year by forcing because she couldn't or wouldn't pull up the 10 footer. Also, Ash, no matter how improved, is not Azzi who is a great player but the question is whether Azzi is Azzi. You don't lose a lot of games with Paige, Ash, Chen, KK, Ice, Jana, Strong, and Q, in your early season rotation while others mend and get their rhythm back with the other 2 freshmen getting minutes here and there. Just imagine this team with healthy versions of CD, Azzi, Ayanna and Aubrey joining that group. [/QUOTE]
