Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4661571, member: 10709"] I hope I'm understanding your question with the answers I'm providing. If not, please let me know. 1). Yes, she was one of the last players added to the Olympics roster and there was a dearth of players at the 4/5 position that year (Achonwa, Ayim, Amihere, Raynock-Enukiwe (sic?), and Alexander). Top players is a tough one to answer. Some fans think some players were deferred to more because it was their final tour with Canada Basketball but who really knows for sure? 2). Yes she was being played at SF, however this is where some Canada Basketball fans were perplexed, including myself considering how she was utilized prior to the Olympics at qualifying events. She got more playing time at that positiong during those events, but something changed prior to the Olympics which was noticed during the AmeriCup event. Personally it didn't make sense then and it doesn't to this date. 3). Lastly, the coaching staff for Canada Basketball now is different from the group that was in place for the last decade and change. The style is different than before as seen during the World Cup where Canada had their best showing in a very very long time. It's too soon to say how Aaliyah will be utilized. This Friday's exhibition match with Japan will provide better insight. [/QUOTE]
