Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3772586, member: 2117"] Edwards perfectly fits the bill of being a big body off the bench providing a spark. She's a freshman and will likely have some ups and downs despite a great first 2 games. I dont see her starting until at least next year, and that isn't a given IMO. It is also very early to conclude she's the second best player. Westbrook's numbers will go up as the season unfolds. She has experience and as long as she plays smart and efficient, she'll keep her starting spot. Makurat too. Bulk of the shots are likely going to go to ONO, Williams and Bueckers so the others on the court need to fill their role well, that being knocking down open looks, being unselfish passers and playing within the system. Westbrook is likely capable of joining those 3 as well as a primary scorer. But you don't need your 5 best scorers in the starting 5...you need the best combination of players. Next year Fudd will have a very difficult time cracking the starting 5, especially if everyone is back and Edwards can produce well against better teams. It'll be Geno's biggest roster ever and he has a plethora of excellent guards and wings, so I dont see a freshman getting the starting nod. [/QUOTE]
