Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3519449, member: 3535"] As a wild guess- (never saw her play) -- if she is slow and can't pass very well- unless she would be happy playing backup center for about 5-7 minutes a game-- no thanks. And I'd bet she wouldn't want that. Three of our best players-- Evina, CWill, and Paige will be-- they are best when they run from what I can see (if I'm wrong then that probably changes things). And as long as UCONN can have a decent pf-- ONO is among the best centers in all of wcbb. So we have a pretty quick and fast center, and basically the rest of the team built to run and probably press. No offense to Olivia Owens-- but if she is slow and can't pass -- unless she is a super-finisher, UCONN shouldn't restructure their team just for matchup reasons in which they "might" run into a terrific big team. The 2 bigs would need time to work with each other and just clog the lane more-than-likely, and make the game more difficult for Evina and Paige. And because it would be a less-than-likely team to run a lot with those two bigs then it hurts CWill too. UCONN was just as good in 16-17 that they were in 17-18. So yeah a big is needed but you can still be extremely successful being small (within reason) and maybe this time UCONN doesn't get beaten by a buzzer beater. The best option imo is to get a pf that can play some center and play a fast-paced style. [/QUOTE]
