Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3772371, member: 9844"] I liked this starting lineup from the beginning, but I would define Evina and Aubrey's roles mostly as 2/3 and 4/5 respectively. Evina could easily play 1, but if Nika shows more she won't have to, and can be a super-sub at 2/3. Aubrey can also play the 3 (particularly defensively), but with Evina available off the bench there, she is more needed at 4/5. Mir is the hard one to find regular minutes for. On paper she appears to be the third best option for any position she is likely to play. Injuries or illness can create an opportunity of course, but if everyone else is available she may be a change of pace substitution or inserted as a defense or rebounding specialist as needed. If Geno decides to press more (hope he does) that would raise the minutes for the tail end of the rotation, but this small ball starting lineup limits significantly the number of minutes you can give collectively to Aaliyah, Aubrey and Mir. All three of those are probably best at the 4, but there are not even 40 minutes to split between them because we start the game with a wing there. Aaliyah can get some of her minutes behind Liv, but in general, more minutes from any of those three means less minutes from Anna or Evina at the 4. Like CocoHusky starting Edwards and bringing Evina off the bench is a direction I would like to see Geno go. [/QUOTE]
