Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3772182, member: 6488"] Geno has a lot of players. Geno, historically, doesn't use a lot of players. So, what's going to happen with all these folks? If history instructs, Coach will use 5-6 and maybe 7. His current starting 5 reflects his usual thinking. Evina is there for her experience and hopefully her scoring. Liv and Christyn are unavoidable because they have what others lack: size for Liv and scoring for Williams. But of the two best players on the team, only Buckets is starting (“With the ball in Paige's hands, we're OK.”) The second best player is Aaliyah Edwards; she has to play a lot (think: Jackie Young). If Evina doesn't start to score in double figures, she may have to sit. Let her spell Paige instead of using Nika in that role, as Muhl is, so far, a net negative (no score; many turnovers). Aaliyah gives you all sorts of things that Evina does not: rebounding, scoring, a large presence. Sooner or later she will be a fixture in the starting 5. Geno also prefers “versatility” to role players. Next season, when Azzi arrives, I'm guessing we'll see just two guards (Fudd and Buckets can both score), so Williams may get bumped. We have some big bodies coming in to play forward, which may also reduce Ania's court time. With Liv and Edwards plus two authentic forwards, we may have one of our best team evah. Re: Seton Hall: you saw what Paige can do when necessary. She can take over a game, put up points, get everyone hustling. We're so lucky she loves us almost as much as we love her. [/QUOTE]
