Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5329994, member: 12088"] Sorry to quibble, because I agree in spirit. But my point is that Paige [B]was[/B] [B]not[/B] [B]asked to[/B] [B]do[/B] everything a traditional PG does. On defense she was much more like a wing or a forward. This means she was not responsible for maintaining court balance on offense or defense. This freed her to set up on the wing on offense and to defend the baseline and close out on shooters at the wings as well as block shots in the paint. Naturally her offensive movements often entailed that she was not the one who chased down fast breaks. If you only look at the offensive side in isolation, she sort of resembles a PG, though even there she doesn’t restrict herself to PG responsibilities. Don’t get me wrong. Paige did much more for the team than a mere PG could ever do. Making her play the traditional role would have limited her contribution too much. [/QUOTE]
