Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3953679, member: 3535"] Massive minutes? He or she is projecting 18. How is that massive? To further that, how much you want to bet she averages more than 18 minutes? Secondly, I didn't say in my post that Paige is going to get as many minutes as she got last year. I said she'll get at least 29 (I[B] made a mistake I said in prior post 30 not 29. she'll (Paige) get 29-30 minutes average.[/B]). That's a 6 minute decline. SO maybe she gets 30 or 31. It's still a decline. In terms of minutes for guard superstars, check the history of super elite guards at UCONN that were regarded as one of the best 5 players in the nation of which Paige is 1st. After their 1st year can you find me even one that would play so few minutes of 25? I just want to make it clear my post said nothing to what you are referring to about 36 minutes unless you are talking about a super tight game they need to win? I do think though in big games she'll get 36+ minutes as many superstar guards get if the game is tight. But she will not average 36- for sure. And I disagree with you BIG TIME about 25 minutes vs 30 is not a big deal as an AVERAGE FOR A SEASON. You heard how Geno said late in season that Paige was telling him how he "owes her minutes." And I think you'll recall that it was stated in one of the Stewart-era games that Geno got wind of a player (or more) deliberately missing a foul shot so she can remain in the game. [/QUOTE]
