Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4404925, member: 1131"] Aubrey should (and I think will) use her 3-point shot in the same way that Nika does -- to punish defenses that leave her wide open, and make them come out and defend her. The difference between her and Nika is that if they do come out and defend her jump shot, Aubrey can get to the hoop and FINISH. I don't expect to see Aubrey and Nika on the court together very often unless Nika is a better finisher and Aubrey a better passer than they have shown to date. I'm certainly not saying that Aubrey will play PG -- more likely that Azzi will handle the point while Aubrey is in the game. I see Aubrey's role as possibly similar to Christyn Williams's role last year -- as a "wide receiver" leading the fast break and taking court-length passes from Azzi or Caroline. It would be great if Aubrey can replace Christyn's scoring when she is on the floor, but even if she doesn't, she will earn a lot of minutes with her defense. She is the only player on the roster who can credibly defend the small, fast guards that many teams will have. [/QUOTE]
