Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 2253640, member: 750"] I will go back to about 3 years ago when the UConn Alumni hosted an evening with Geno and Kevin in Hartford. The question was asked about positions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Both Kevin and Geno said those positions are no longer relevant. Geno stated that a post player, the classic type, is limited in the offense. They only function well on the low post. Steph was not a type post player. She had the 15 footer and occassional 3. She was an exceptional passer. Then there was Stewie. Now its Azura. Geno has also said many times he wants his guards to be able to run the offense and to shoot. Everyone refers to Mo as what the team needs. Let's remember, Mo not only ran the offense but by her junior year was a dangerous shooter either by the drive or from 3. The 1 to 5 traditional positions are a thing of the past. Geno wants players who can play at different positions on the court. Pheesa is a monster down low but showed she can hit the jumper and the 3. Lou. a 3 point specialist, has shown her ability and willingness to go down low and drive to the basket. Plus she has that beautiful curl move for the 15 footer. Gabby is devastating at the high post position. She drives, either hand, shot the 15 footer and make the past to the low post slot. These are all multi-position players. They are all defensive nightmares for opponents. Kia will start along with Lou, Pheesa, Gabby and Z. They are the best 5 to run the show. [/QUOTE]
