Have all of you noticed that through the first three games (including the exhibition against Kutztown), Aubrey has been used exclusively on the perimeter?  I've watched pretty closely, and I haven't noticed a single play on which she could be said to play a "4" or "5" position at either end of the floor.

Her role is more like the WNBA Gabby Williams, not the UConn flavor of Gabby (which, in any case, was done out of necessity because Geno had a shortage of big bodies on those teams).  Yes, she gets rebounds (probably more than the average guard) because of her hops and her hustle, but good guards can do that.

On defense, she is always covering the opposing team's guards, not their bigs.  And she is doing that very well.

I expect her present role to continue throughout the season.  That will mean that she is not going to be part of the front court rotation, even though that is thin right now (just Dorka / Aaliyah / Ayanna, given Ice's injury and Amari's lack of readiness).  As I've said on other threads, I expect Caroline to be the fourth "big" which she gets back to full strength.  She is better suited to that role than Aubrey is.
