Message: [QUOTE="Eagle4, post: 3977793, member: 8931"] I have to add some heresy here. I dont get the boneyatd's fascination with Muhl. She is a nice kid and a hard worker. She is NOT the second coming of Sue Bird, at least not yet. I wish her well and hope she improves her offensive game. She had difficulty in most games making outside shots and also had some very awkward efforts even with layups. A championship team needs complete two way players at all positions as well as depth . Starting a "specialist" that the opponents don't have to guard (or a big who cant finish under pressure) leaves you vunerable. It's just as bad as starting an offesive player who cant guard people. We saw how those issues ultimately led to UConn's demise last year. I think starting and minutes will be hard earned this year(harder earned than last year). The people who improve and deal with their weaknesses will play. Geno is going to have options and, unlike last year, will have the depth to hopefully sort out a rotation that consists of complete two way players. Another point to be made is sometimes the 5th starter is not a better player than the 6th or 7th player because you want the first and second subs to be players who can spark a team when they come in. If Fudd is as good as Beckers, I dont see how she doesn't wind up playing major major minutes...and that doesnt even consider how ready Caroline might be .... and then there is Dorka.... yikes.... a lot of talent coming in...
