Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5317452, member: 12088"] I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing, [USER=10435]@BBallF[/USER] . But you replied directly to me, so that leaves me in a quandary. In a thread about what the next season might hold for Ice, your post goes pretty far afield, but it's reasonable to think there will be limited minutes. And I doubt there's much disagreement on the BY about how many minutes Azzi and Sarah will be on the floor. [LIST] [*]Will Geno surprise us with his creative genius in making use of as much of his roster as possible? Yes of course. [*]Will the rotation be much longer in December than in February? Yes, obviously. [*]But my question for you is: how will that affect Ice? [/LIST] As for whether the stars will get 30 minutes, last season probably holds some clues: Paige averaged 30 mins, Sarah 29 and Azzi 26 (though injury time cut into her numbers). They logged fewer minutes against weaker opponents earlier in the season, and a lot more in March and April. Ice and Jana averaged 16 minutes each, though in Ice's case it was more early on and less in March. Will the same pattern recur this season? I doubt it, mainly because of the addition of Serah and the return of Ayanna to the front court, and the impact of Blanca and Morgan in any small-balll lineup that emerges. Those are factors that might limit Ice. On the other side, if she turns a corner in the development of her own offense, she might earn even more minutes. [/QUOTE]
