Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4791857, member: 9844"] Agree, it is getting very interesting regarding the potential for a very deep rotation, particularly due to Ashlynn and Q looking like they are rotation ready now. Heading into the season I expected KK to find a way to make the rotation, but I thought Ashlynn and Q most likely face a learning year gaining experience at the end of safe wins. We still have Ayanna out of course, and who knows about Azzi's knee, or Caroline's ongoing concussion issues, but if the players are healthy it seems like Geno could contemplate using up to 11 in a contested game. I am leaving Amari and Ines out of that projection, and also note it is lopsided towards the perimeter (7 players including caroline as a 3) vs a limited number of bigs (4 even counting Aubrey as a 4). Because of the excess of perimter players that appear to be ready for prime-time, it might be hard to incorporate all of them in every game on occasions where matchups and team situational needs will dictate who plays. The four out that some prefer (not me) will contine to be the norm for sure until Ayanna returns and/or Ice starts playing closer to 30 minutes a game. But even if those two bigs start consuming far more minutes, the small ball option will still be there in part because Ashlynn and Q have apparently earned Geno's trust more than Amari. [/QUOTE]
