Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 2367836, member: 6488"] Last year at this time we were trying to figure out where the scoring lost when Bre, Mo, and Tuck left was going to come from. There weren't many players vying for starting spots, so we guessed that Lou would give us 20, Kia 10-15, Gabby the same, etc. I remember that 80 was the magic number. At that point no one knew how consistently excellent a scorer Naphesa was to become. We were most worried about who would be able to rebound and defend with little or no height. This year we're debating what our current wealth of talent enables us to do. As a measure of whether Crystal should/will start, I ask “Will she score more than Azura? More than Kia? Provide better D than either of those?” [Answer: No.] MoJeff didn't discover her consistent 3 until the last couple of years of her tenure. Dangerfield still hasn't found hers. The main difference between Crystal and other potential starters is the speed she provides. My guess is Geno starts his scorers/defenders and brings Dangerfield off the bench. Kia and Lou can bring it up; Azura provides the missing height and the bonus of a versatile scorer. Nobody pushes Collier and/or Gabby aside. :p [/QUOTE]
