Clearly not by choice. Right now the answer is Aaliyah playing out of position to backup in essence all the wing starters. Do I think a walk-on would be used if all four of the relevant players are available? No, my point is what is the backup plan if just one of those is not available from injury, illness, or foul trouble.

If the unavailable player was Aaliyah, I imagine Dorka would have to assume Aaliyah's role as the backup to all three wings. If we are missing one of the wings then probably Aaliyah and Dorka are wings and we are playing 4 bigs and one guard, with Amari and Piath having to pick up the big minutes with Aaliyah and Dorka out of position.

Could a walk on who at least played guard decently in high school be better than that? I'm not sure, and if one and certainly with two missing players back it would not be an issue, but until that happens we have to use one big like a guard, and with any guard missing that would be two bigs playing guard.
