Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 3859060, member: 11020"] Ok friends and neighbors, its time to get serious. As Geno has said, now is the time to get ready for March. Its time to not to question who is playing and who is not. Every post season Geno uses 7 players no matter how many he has on the bench. Paige, CW,EW,Nika, and ONO are the starters until the season ends. AE and AG are the players off the bench. Period. Or is it? Even at the end of a blowout, we see very few players other than those 7 on the floor. Actually it would rise to 8 if Anna comes back. Regardless, he is getting the team ready for March. But, are there other options? I think there should be 2 more options. In the paint we have 2 pretty reliable players, as long as they stay out of foul trouble. Against a team like Stanford or Tennessee he may opt to start both at the same time. If they do get into trouble, Paith is the answer to guard the tin. She may be unpolished, but she could serve very valuable minutes while our main horses are on the bench. I think that is why Geno is giving her minutes later in the game. Makes sense to me. Secondly, lets be honest, out 3Pt shooting leaves a lot to be desired. We are streaky, and if we get into a situation that we can't make anything, that is where Saylor comes in. Again, unpolished and inexperienced. At that point, we don't need a really skilled player or one with experience for that matter. We need someone who can knock them down, and isn't AFRAID to SHOOT. That's why she is getting minutes instead of Mir and Autumn. Besides using the top 7 ( or 8 ), he is creating an emergency plan if any of these scenarios crop up. Geno is a genius, but can he be evolving? Nothing is certain on this years team, and as far as I'm concerned, the more options we have, as unlikely as it may, we will be better off. [/QUOTE]
