This tweet is a great example why I like Booker so much for UCONN, because you can run the entire offense through her at the high post or pinch post as Geno did with Gabby Williams. Unlike Gabby though the defense is going to have to respect her deep ball. Paired with wing shooters like Azzi and Paige the offense that offense is going to be lethal.
Looking past this year, I think we have players that can bring a lot to the 3 position, but Booker seems to be the one that could be versatile enough to cover all the bases. Caroline Ducharme would bring the outside shooting and probably decent passing/ball-handling, but I worry a little bit about her defense of quickness on the perimeter.
Ayanna I feel completely confident could be a lock-down defender at the 3 and a couple more positions, as well as an exceptional rebounder for that position. I don't know how she would fit in offensively there. Azzi could be great as a 3 as well, even if a little undersized and a more natural 2.
But if you assume Paige and Azzi in the backcourt, Aaliyah at the 4, and either Dorka, Amari or Ice at the 5, Booker appears to be a great overall fit at the 3, even with several very good options there already. It's still pretty early in the process, but it appears we are going after a few bigs and guards, but that Booker is the clear #1 choice among mid-sized players.
