Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5329779, member: 44"] Their knowledge of Geno's system has a far bigger impact in games. They need to be able to see plays developing and know what to do. That's not an easy skill, as we've heard from standouts in the WNBA, such as Napheesa Collier. In fact, it is probably the central factor that differentiates former Connecticut players from other players in the WNBA. None of that means that players are automatically granted playing time via seniority. It just means that it takes time to fully understand Geno's system and implement it in real time during a game. So, far more often than not players with more experience will outplay new players on the court, all else being equal. Honestly, I don't think we significantly disagree. We just have a little different weighting system on the impact of experience on play. [/QUOTE]
