Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5111530, member: 12088"] This may turn out to be a prescient post. You’ve hit on a good way to think about Morgan’s paradoxical skillset. She was a tremendous PG in high school and even (Paige-like) a player-coach on the court and on the bench. There are a few clips of her HS games where she uses a clipboard on the sideline to explain plays to a teammate. Morgan may not be the regular PG at UConn and will probably play forward much of the time. But her handles are too good to limit her role to that. She also has elite passing skills that Geno is not likely to lock up on the wing. We may not see much of it this season, but in the coming years I bet we’ll see her passing from the high post often. On a side note, it’s surprising to me how unlike Morgan is to Caroline. They are a similar size, but Caroline is a more polished perimeter shooter, a crafty shot blocker and a skillful low post scorer. Morgan is a bit (maybe a lot) quicker, has better handles and is really scrappy in the paint as a rebounder and a defender (judging from high school). She also knows how to be a vocal leader. I really hope the two of them get some major minutes on the court together. I can hardly wait to see Morgan in the starting lineup. Even if it doesn’t happen this season, it will eventually.
