I know trick questions when I see one.   In the UCONN offense, unlike say any team in the SEC,  players move and are encouraged to be effective from more than one position on the floor.  Napheesa was certainly effective from multiple positions in the UCONN offense including in the post=AA effective.   Napheesa's best offensive position is in the mid post where she was among the most accurate shooters in the NCAA and UCONN history.  Defensively is another matter.   In UCONN man to man or zone defenses Napheesa struggles on post defense.  Napheesa led UCONN in fouls committed  last year, by a fairly large margin.   The 81 fouls Napheesa committed last year was the most by any UCONN players, sorry I only went back 10 years.   BTW Napheesa also led the team in personal fouls her freshman year when she was 7th in minutes played.    Not to dwell,  on the negative but Napheesa also led the team in rebounding last year.    So Napheesa best defensive position is not in the post,  it is on the Wing where she can use her length to stop other wing players like she did against Thomas of FSU.
Go figure:  Gabby and Napheesa  were the best post players on the UCONN roster last year and among the best in the country  even though " they were playing out  position".      Are they both great or what?
