Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5145730, member: 9844"] Aubrey could actually play with Sarah in another way too, as a 3/4 combo. Sarah could be the 3 on the offensive side, but the 4 on the defensive side. I think that would be a very good combo with the big if of whether Ice or Jana can be really good at the 5. In many ways I think a healthy Aubrey is better than our bench guards, Ash and KK, and our two C's, Ice and Jana. Sarah at least against most teams can play 3-5, and of course in a pinch Paige can play 1-4, so with the versatility of our two stars, we can go big or small with lineup decisions made more based on the best 5 players or combos, than the best by traditional position definitions. That means when Aubrey returns, Ice and Jana might be competing against Ash and KK for playing time in addition to against each other. Personally I hope our bigs step up a bit and warrant going big, because against the teams that matter most (the top contenders) we will be facing many very good bigs, and I think a small lineup could sweep the Big East but might have difficulties late in the NCAA tournament. Regardless the downside, or floor if you will is pretty high because if you add Aubrey to the mix, a fifth starter could be the best from Ash, KK, Ice or Jana. Hopefully Azzi and Aubrey will both be close to 100% soon and stay that way thru March Madness, and Geno will have many good options. [/QUOTE]
