Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5174622, member: 1131"] I would amend this suggestion slightly (and also perhaps make it easier for [USER=267]@cferraro04[/USER] to prepare these analyses). UConn now has two fairly obvious "platoon" situations: Jana/Ice at center and Kaitlyn/KK at point guard. When you look at these positions, I suggest that you don't just compare Jana to the opponent's center just because Jana starts; instead, compare the production of the other team's center to the combined production of Jana and Ice. Likewise for the PG position: compare the opponent's PG to the Kaitlyn/KK combination. That means that you would "deduct" the contributions of KK and Ice from UConn's expected "bench" contributions, presumably resulting in a weaker-appearing UConn bench. (But Aubrey will make up for that.) To be fair, if the opponent has a similar "platoon" situation where they have two players sharing the minutes at one position approximately equally, then you should treat their platoons in the same way as the UConn platoons.
