Hijacking Kibitzer's ponderings on Gabby

[BigBird]

Let's go to the video tape. In this tape you will see a young Gabby with elite PG skills-ball handling,passing in transition, initiating the offense in the half court set. She did not play the position by default! she played it with great skill.

The video clearly shows that Gabby can play PG. What it does not show us is whether or not she could be an effective PG for Geno.

Gabby won't be taking a lot of 3s this year. They'll need her rebounding more than taking 3s. Next year with Azura and Batouly, UConn will have more size, and Gabby will be able to step outside and take 3s.

Until Little Miss Danger is ready to take over the reins I think Gabby will see significant time in the back court. Also if Saniya doesn't show injury free progress alongside Kia Gabby will then see major time there.

Because Gabby has played so well in the front court, we keep forgetting that Gabby was recruited as a GUARD. She has latent guard skills. She's going to be a starter this fall. Where she's going to start we don't know yet. The staff will groom (and teach) her to play where ever they need her to. Gabby will do well where ever they put her. Gabby has been brought along slowly. She's been waiting off stage for two years. Now it's her turn. As Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in the 1950's movie Sunset Boulevard said:, Mr. Demille, "I'm ready for my close up".
