At this point in the season it would be questionable not to start Aubrey, especially considering the amount of games both Caroline and Azzi have missed. The only scenario in which I see Azzi starting again is if she returns before the NCAA tournament.

Every thread doesn’t have to morph into a “who starts” thread!

If Geno has the 6 , 7 or 8 player rotation he wants then who starts is irrelevant. They will all get meaningful minutes. I have no doubt they won't even care if they start or not.

"When constructing a team, what is the ideal archetype to surround your high-usage guard or post-player? Likely a do-it-all, Swiss army-knife wing. The problem is these types of players come few and far between ...""Insert UConn’s Aubrey Griffin, a native of Ossining, New York, with a unique athletic background."
"Griffin has ideal wing size at 6’1 with a ridiculously long wingspan, precise movement patterns, and a nonstop motor. The redshirt junior is everything a coach is looking for and the epitome of modern basketball."

I use the three search results every single time Perhaps if posters used the article title for their post title the search function would be useful. Please get a search function that actually is useful. Please try using it yourself. No sane person is going to manually look in every post.

Where was this article posted? I can't t find it. Can you? There was a mention of it without a link. The mention was buried in a post. We are suppose to read every post before posting a new article? The search engine can't find it.

What an interesting topic! I wonder if there will be threads next year starters will be during the off-season.
Aubrey is a much better defender than CD, Dorka and Lou. If you remove her from the lineup you might get a little more offense but you lose a tremendous amount on defense. You could have a game where it makes more sense to have more offense than defense but as long as the team struggles to score in Q2 and Q3 they need the best defense on the floor.
To me I would bring CD off the bench for Dorka to give her a minute, then Dorka for AE for a minute, then AE for Lou for a minute and then Lou for Aubrey. Nika unfortunately has to stay in the game until they get another ball handler back. This rotation would keep your shooters rested and give your bigs a minute or so a couple times a game. If 6 is the magic number this is about as good as you can hope for. Once you go through you adjust to the hot hand.
