There seems to be an absolute conviction by some on this board that UConn must start a true pg or the Huskies will be doomed next year.  I get where this is coming from.  Mo was an extraordinary pg who had the ball in her hand most of the time on offense.  But basketball is changing.  The conventional 1-5 positions are passe.  The best teams don't play with a true center or pg anymore.  Everbody handles the ball, passes the ball and shoots the ball.  Think of the Golden State Warriors.  Steph Curry is not a true pg.

This past season, UConn had 5 players with over 100 assists, with the "center" leading the team.  You can say that either Kia or Saniya was the pg of the team, but the truth is they were both combo guards who handled the ball like everyone else in the flow of the offense.  UConn does not need a true pg.  Z will start along with Gabby, Lou, Pheesa & Kia.  Danger will get her minutes, particularly when Geno wants to speed up the game and break the other team's will.
