Aubrey could be electric coming off the bench for what Geno might see as potential game flat times. UConn has a decent lead that's eroding; player(s) on the bench for foul protection or slight injuries or needing extended blows; UConn behind a really good team and making runs but can't quite get over the hump; Geno's perception that one or more starters are a step down from normal intensity. In dozens of situations I can see Aubrey as lightning in a bottle and there's evidence from two years ago she likes that role (and now has considerably elevated skills and team sense).

Not that there aren't difficulties. Aubrey doesn't line up as the perfect positional go-to as as the routine sixth or even seventh player; some creativity on Geno's part would be required to make this work. It would demand extreme dedication from Aubrey in practice to maintain the high level Geno would expect, with significantly reduced minutes (compared to this year) as the reward.

But I see Aubrey off the bench as exciting as hell and would love to see it.
