Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5061320, member: 12088"] I'm with you on this one. But on Paige's behalf I'll add that she took almost all the Hail Mary end-of-period shots all season long. That tends to weigh on your percentages. Same thing happened the year before to Azzi. As for the now recurring Azzi vs Ash debate, it has to be obvious that a fully healthy Azzi has to start. This discussion reminds me of that joke Geno told two years ago when everyone was hoping for Paige to return from that tibial-plateau injury in time for the tournament: "Of course, she'll have to earn her minutes in practice." It's the same deal with Azzi. Paige and Azzi may not play 35 mins/game this season, but I expect they'll play >25 mins and probably average 50 pts/g between them. If one of them goes off for 30, the other will be right around 20. This is the key to the lineup I envision. And KK and Ash will have important roles in it, probably starting initially, then becoming key rotation player. But [B]since this thread is about what the starting lineup will look like on Nov 3rd[/B], and if Azzi is not quite cleared to play all out, I think it's reasonable to expect to see [B]Paige KK Ash[/B] start alongside whoever else Geno thinks complements them best.
