Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4393405, member: 11664"] There will probably come a time when Azzi is playing PG and Nika will need to enter the game to give someone a rest. But if Geno thinks that Azzi should remain in as PG, then Nika may need to learn to play another position in addition to PG. We need to be realistic that one may be better than the other, and that by necessity Nika may need to be able to score some points without being the PG. She'll need practice to become another guard on the team. Every game may be different and it's best to prepare for contingencies for whatever reason such as for the betterment of the team or to simply make Nika a better all around player. Paige was able to play more than one position and every player should have some versatility. I doubt that Ines will be ready to play much PG anytime soon. I'm confident that Nika can make some shots if needed whether she's playing PG or not. Geno moved Evina's position around and nothing will stop him from doing whatever he thinks is best for the team. Nika may benefit by not having the pressure of playing PG and so might Azzi at times. And if a 3rd PG comes into the game, that doesn't necessarily mean that Azzi or Nika need to take a rest. It may mean that the 3rd PG needs training time and other players need to move over while someone else rests. That's what being prepared should be all about. People don't always need to sit at the same spot at the dinner table in order to eat. Maybe Geno can teach the veteran UConn Huskies some new tricks. Like Paige said after returning from her injury that she just wants to contribute in any way. So should they all. [/QUOTE]
