Message: [QUOTE="#12in21, post: 4393980, member: 10763"] As I have said on several occasions, Nika herself said after last season ended that she has had a change of perspective. She gets it that she has to be more of an offensive presence to prevent the defense playing off of her. That’s what she is focising on. I for one believe her and think she will be just that. People seem to forget that in a presser freshnan year Paige credited Nika with facilitating alot of her offense with screens and anticipating her movement. Why people don’t think that will happen with Azzi at two and Nika at point is beyond me. Geno chose to put Nika at point and Paige at two their freshman season, most likely for that very reason, why many posters don’t seem to get that that is the right choice this season is also beyond me. I get it Nika has to make sure defenses stay on her, she does too! So how about we consider that reality and that she is the best option at point, facilitating a very potent offense that IMO has more diverse options than we hsve seen in a number of years and spearheading a defense that with the return of Aubrey and the incoming freshmen can be again more intense than recent years. Nika is an important piece of this years potential sucess, the kid’s a gamer and team first ( no offebse to the poster with the same handle, well maybe alittle). I’m looking forward to the posts from those that have essentially discounted her value to the teams success this season, when she demonstrates her significance within a really great squad! [/QUOTE]
