Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5148670, member: 9844"] I think in time Ice's role will change both in position and regarding playing time. Is she more of a 4 than a 5? Probably, but this year that doesn't matter, she is needed more at the 5. If Jana takes her starting position at the 5, she would still be the principle backup at the 5, but also available for some backup minutes at the 4. That changes though when Aubrey returns, since Aubrey would then become first in line for backing up Sarah, and Ice could be reduced to just the backup 5. Next year could be different again. We will have two natural 5's by adding Gandy, who if she is ready could be Jana's backup, turning Ice into more of a pure 4. Not much time behind Sarah, but Aubrey will be gone, and who knows if Ayanna will be in the mix or not. I was very disappointed we lost out on Somfai, who I thought could have been the principle backup to Sarah and Jana, kind of like the way Dorka was to Liv and Aaliyah, with Ice and Gandy being the 4th and 5th bigs. Obviously in small ball lineups it would be far different, but next year the 4 guard option won't be as potentially good because we presumably don't have a player like Paige, so good and so versatile, that she can even be a very good 4. Morgan might be the best option for a guard at the 4 next year. [/QUOTE]
