I would love to see Ice step up and earn more playing time.  I have to believe she will do everything she can to achieve that goal this season.

On the other hand, as several BY’ers have mentioned, there is so much talent up front on this year’s team that the battle for PT will inevitably leave some very talented players on the outside looking in.  For Ice to crack the rotation she will need to bring something else to the table.

If we look at the 4 & 5 spots, I expect Sarah, Blanca, Jana & Serah to establish themselves as starters and/or regular rotation players.  After that you have 3 players coming off of injuries, Caroline, Ayana & Morgan who will all be hungry to get on the court again.  Then you have Ice who’s been a dependable reserve for the last 2 seasons.  Finally you’ve got Gandy who’s probably got some development ahead of her before she gets meaningful minutes.

If Ice can secure more PT it will probably require her to be a more consistent 3-pt shooter.  We know she can make shots from the arc.  But let’s say she can knock down 2-3 from the arc every game, shooting somewhere around 40%.  That would pretty much force Geno to play Ice regularly.
