Message: [QUOTE="bballtalk, post: 3337876, member: 9837"] I think next year you’ll see Bueckers (Fr), Williams (Jr), Westbrook (RSr), Walker (Sr), ONO (Jr). Off the bench will be Griffin (So), Makurat (So), Edwards (Fr). I think Gabriel, McLean, and Muhl will play in the garbage minutes just because they still have a lot of developing to do. In the three off the bench you get Athleticism (Griffin), Shooting/ Passing (Makurat), and size (Edwards). McLean and Muhl are much like Griffin and Makurat this year. I think we all know Griffin isn’t ready yet, but we need her to contribute. Makurat is more experienced, but she has had to adjust to her whole life changing. On a deeper UConn team, neither of them would be starting nor getting good minutes (maybe Makurat but definitely not Griffin). Gabriel is raw, and her game needs development. All bigs coming into the college game need development. ONO was much higher rated and more polished and she barely played her first year. I think Gabriel, McLean, and Muhl all will use that first year to learn and develop and then as sophomores be able to really contribute. Also this is probably looking way too far ahead, but I think Westbrook leaves after next year. I think she’d want to leave with Walker. And I don’t think Evina is the type of person who stays in college 5 years (and doesn’t need to basketball wise). Then in 2021 we’ll bring in Deberry, Poffenbarger, and hopefully Fudd (and anyone else Geno wants) I think Fudd and Edwards replace Walker/ Westbrook in the starting lineup and The bench is Griffin, McLean, Makurat, and Muhl. With Gabriel, Poffenbarger, and Deberry all developing on the bench. But like I said that’s way too far in the future. [/QUOTE]
