Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 3994425, member: 11020"] We already know what the kids in the present starting line up can do, and we know what Caroline, Azzi, and Saylor have the potential to do. I believe that Azzi is the only one to have a chance to crack this line up given her offensive ability, both outside the 3 pt line and inside. She is not a point guard, so that is not an option. Paige should stay the 2 guard, giving us three players that can hit from the perimeter. I truly believe the real key to what the starters will look like is Nika. Alot of us are worrying about not having enough offence from her, and I agree to that partially. She has the fire we need out there, her passing is better than most college point guards, and we certainly cannot complain about her defense. Half the players have a tremendous jump in playing ability between their freshmen and sophomore years. We don't know what Nika has been working on this summer, but she gave up her chance to try out for her National team to stay in Storrs. When you do not have your teammates to work out with, there is only one thing you can work on, and thats shooting. If she worked on developing her pull up, as well as her long shot, we may be in for a surprise. No matter how good the freshmen are, if she made the jump in these areas, there is no way she will be demoted to the bench. The way the rest of her game is, it is in the best interest for for this team to go forward with her out there. I believe Evina would be the one to give up minutes, or even the starting position to get Azzi the minutes she will need to be an effective member of the team. [/QUOTE]
