Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3616784, member: 5823"] I'm a self-proclaim defensive bigot and you vision of UCONN pressing for (40 mins?) and creating steal after steal with this rosters is blurry at best. Keep in Mind that UCONN had consecutive DPOY in Moriah, Gabby, Kia and even those teams pressed sparingly. More importantly it was the offensive skill set of those three players that allowed them to remain on the court and become game changing defensive players. Moriah morphed into a deadly 3pt shooter and ended up being the all time UCONN assist leader. Gabby was able to facilitate the offense from the high post and was a very high FG % shooter. Like Moriah, Kia Nurse morphed into a deadly wing shooter and was among the nation's best at the same time she was playing NDPOY caliber defense. On the current team there is some good defensive potential and Aubrey has the most of it. Using Aubrey as an example her offensive efficiency, knowledge of the offense, and long range shooting would have to increase greatly for her to become a stater or reliable contributor in meaningful games. The more players like Aubrey you put on the floor the team's offensive efficiency will suffer. Dennis Rodman could afford to one dimensional, he never suited up without a HoF player ( some times multiple) or All-star player taking the floor with him. No player on this current UCONN roster will have the luxury of being one dimensional. [/QUOTE]
