Umm, I want Nika to start as PG. I’m a fan of Nika’s, and I really enjoy watching her play. I am not part of the BY that worships her and doesn’t recognize her limitations as a player.How many actual games has KK played for UCONN? Not even gonna wait for an answer. It's zero.
BTW who was 2nd in the entire nation in assists last season? Again I'll answer for you - Nika. Who broke the record for total assists in a season, passing Sue Bird, the greatest PG ever to play the game? Nika.
I continue to be absolutely stunned at the people who seem to want to diminish NIka's contributions. There is zero chance - I'll say it again for emphasis ... ZERO CHANCE that Geno demotes Nika to the bench as a non-starter. Unless she's injured.
Honestly, and this is a small rant not necessarily directed at you, but I'm tired of people not giving Nika the credit she deserves. Paige may be the face of UCONN WCBB, but Nika is the heart and soul. She's the engine that drives the entire team. She BLEEDS blue. We are so blessed to have her.
One reason that Nika broke the assists records is that she took many fewer shots per game than Sue or Paige.
I was really impressed with KK’s talent, though I have no idea if that will transfer to better competition or how long it will take for her to develop into a college player. If she develops quickly, she could take a lot of minutes from Nika. My opinion.
Paige is more than the face of UConn. She is the best player on the team, a far, far better player than Nika. As is Azzi.
I have no problem with your posts on the BY. I always appreciate them. But you are not Geno, you haven’t seen KK in practice, and you can’t guarantee there’s zero chance that Geno will « demote » Nika sometime during the season. If Geno eventually starts Paige as PG and plays Nika off the bench, « stabbing Nika in the back, » as someone said, I will remind you of your guarantee. Geno will do what he needs to do to win a championship.
