Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4202044, member: 9844"] I don't see a transfer or Aubrey being a serious threat to playing time from Paige, Azzi or Caroline. They are projected starters and will likely get big minutes. Nika is a point guard who pretty much has the backup PG minutes spoken for, plus maybe some where she plays alongside Paige where Paige shifts to SG. As currently constructed the biggest need IMO is a 2/3 backup, preferably with guard skills and an outside shot. If healthy I have no doubt Aubrey could be a great defensive and rebounding wing. She could also score on offensive rebounds, slashing to the basket etc., and she is good at that, but not very good fitting into the offense hanging around the perimeter. I think she is best as a 4, an unfortunately with a back injury there is significant uncertainty about her future. She is also not a new prospect, she had two years to show how she could fit on the perimeter, so it seems to me relying on her as the sole answer to the 2/3 backup without a plan B there is pretty risky for a team that otherwise seems well covered at other positions. If Aubrey beats out a transfer for that role, great even better. [/QUOTE]
