Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2149003, member: 3535"] Yes. And I disagree with anyone who thinks Danger will be at the [B]back of the bench[/B] this upcoming year -- however I don't agree with you that this year[B] that she was at the backend for the most part.[/B] Nor do I agree with you if she doesn't get more than 24 minutes like she got this year that she won't "develop" [U]if that is what you are implying[/U] - regardless where those 24+ minutes come from. Is that what you are implying? She was the team's "6th man" and averaged over half-a-game playing time. That's not "back of the bench." Also, you cited what Geno had said of her. Late in the season he was pleased with her for quite a bit. That's why he made the comments . He saw improvement. So she would have improved under his tutelage. If he didn't, would he have said such good things about her late? Saniya Chong and Napheesa Collier were backend of the bench players - SC for 3 years and Collier her 1st year-- and the 1st game of the season each shined. Didn't that show they were "ready to play" even though they did not get big minutes the year before? How much did "lack of minutes" affect them? In fact near the whole team never got big minutes in tight games before this year other than Kia-- and yet they wound up with three a/a's and were favored to win because they were regarded as the best team in the nation while ending up having n amazing year with a 36-1 record. Lack of minutes from the prior year didn't hurt their "development" vs nearly every other team in wcbb. Right out of the gate they beat the best. [/QUOTE]
