I don't think Geno needs Amari -- not to give breathers, not to counter opposing bigs, not for her hi-post play. It would be great if she could supply those things. But the team Geno has designed does not depend on her. It does depend on Ice and Q become solid contributors, and that is within the realm of reasonable possibilities.

If you think about tOSU last season, they played a game much like what Geno has the Huskies doing, a high-energy pressing defense either as a 4-out lineup with Mikulasikova, or as a 5-out lineup without her on the floor. They depended on a couple of very physical players in McMahon and Thierry, and Geno had Aaliyah and Aubrey for that role. And they had a great perimeter shooter in Mikesell. That team got to the elite eight, which was as far as Jacy Sheldon could carry them. Well, we have more perimeter threats, and I have a feeling Paige can carry the Huskies further than Jacy could carry the Buckeyes.
