Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4030776, member: 11020"] Again, the question about Nika. I think alot of BYers are blinded about the influx of new talent coming in this year, with playing time expectations going out of control. I think the success of Paige and Alya last year has caused our brain to forget what a freshman is, and how long it usually takes to get acclimated to the college game. In Nika, we have a very sound point guard who through sheer determination and grit broke into the starting line up and proved that she belonged. She is the motivating force that gets the other players, and hopefully the fans, excited about playing the game. Nobody can deny what she brings to the team, and maybe this year will be more. We all have voiced our opinion about her reluctance to shoot the ball, so maybe this summer this is something she has corrected. If that is the case, and she can consistently take 10 shots a game, there is no way she won't be starting. There is chemistry when she is on the floor, so I guarantee she will be starting. If another player thinks she is better than she will have plenty of opportunities to prove that. For me, we need her on the floor. [/QUOTE]
