Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4406146, member: 5798"] Easy answer. Her gifts (play) will make room for her. Was Kia Nurse or Olivia Nelson-Ododa worried about minutes being carved out for them their freshman year? No. Geno knew they had to be on the floor. If things work out like I think they will, Ice will get her minutes. Remember what Geno tells his players EVERY year. [I]"Give me a reason to play you, or a reason to keep you on the bench." [/I]He may not be able to keep Ice on the bench. This theory may very well turn to fact once the season starts. We know Geno has no problem shortening his rotation to 7 players in BIG games. Right now I'm speculating, but midway through the preseason, Geno may find the team functions best with Ice on the floor at the post. Of course other post players (Amari and Dorka) will also be in consideration. Their play could keep Ice on the bench, or cut into her minutes. Both of them can also play the wing position. I don't think either would be heart broken if Geno inserted them at the wing as opposed to the post in a game. That's going to be a challenge for Geno this year. Trying to keep the role players happy with enough minutes. :confused: [/QUOTE]
