Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4008328, member: 3535"] When Nika and Evina were in together- Evina played offensively like a wing imo. Now that UCONN has Dorka - if Dorka lives up to near her billing - there is a pretty good chance this will reduce the amount of minutes for Evina to play the PF defensively in big games. The chance to beat UCONN with a perimeter team is greatly reduced this year. It's the power teams more to fear. So why can't Evina spend some limited time (very limited or not at all etc - whatever) at "defending the PF" but also more time backing up the 1-3 positions instead of Caroline backing up the 2/3? Right now looking at preseason - UCONN has 3 players that are better than CD at the SF (CWill, Paige and Evina). And they have 4 players that are better than her at the SF. Unless some are thinking to drastically reduce Paige/Azzi and CWill in big games from the 100 I've estimated? Or CD will beat out / take a decent chunk of minutes from Evina or Nika? This UCONN team is in a super, super situation. And barring injury, the players at the 1-3 positions are pretty entrenched, aren't they? Other than Azzi - there is something to draw from in terms of the other players having played good college hoop in the past year. [/QUOTE]
