New Starting 5

[mbr33ct]

I'm confused, is CW back in the starting lineup again after the DePaul game?

If CW playing more driving attack the basket then CW>NM
if not , CW playing lazy just wait there for 3s shooting then i prefer NM >CW

CW gets a lot of wide open looks at the three. She has to take those shots because they are there to take so what I'm thinking is that sometimes (not all the time), we put NM in and we move PB to the 2G. Then maybe they can't give us those threes as much. I think NM's passing abilities would help also.

There is no doubt that CW is the better player than NM and I think you agree, but maybe a little less CW and a little more NM would be good. At least until CW gets out of her slump. Let's say 25 min for CW instead of 38.

Obviously GA doesn't agree at the moment, but that is just how I feel about it.

My thoughts as well

I know you were being sarcastic. I just don't think it is appropriate nor does it add anything to the conversation. Also, GA sat CW far more than the rest of the players you mentioned. IIRC, she didn't even start the second half.

It doesn't matter as much about the rest of the team's stats with 3s, CW is the starting shooting guard and needs to shoot better than the rest because of that fact alone! Expectations for her are a bit higher than others, so to compare her to other players on the team is inconsequential.

She has been 22% over a the previous 5 games from 3 and missing multiple open mid-range shoots (42% in total) and only 7-12 from the FT line is awful for a starting shooting guard. Not to mention her defense was the worst of any player thus far this year.

It looks like she got going in the DePaul game.

I'm not saying to give up on her. I am a big fan of CW, but she certainly hasn't lived up to the #1 ranking in HS as you pointed out. She is not a consistent dominate player, even against lesser competition. Play her less and maybe we get more from her...

We all know CW struggles but it makes no since taking her out the lineup because we still beating teams by a average of 33% they are still 11-1. If Geno keeps her in the starting lineup then it’s something he knows we don’t. He said that at practice she’s fine just don’t translate into games sometimes. But let’s end this convo. You have your option and I have mines which means mines is accurate since Geno and staff haven’t gone with your logic yet.

Your right and I said the same thing he should play her less but the thread is about starting lineups not playing more.

I think NM is a good player and with more playing time might be even better. I don't want her to replace CW, just less CW and more NM. I think CW could be better if you reduce her minutes from 35 plus to 25 minutes.

I like Nika she reminds me of Jen Rizzotti Sue and Bird. I sat and watch the game and I found out how really good she’s going to be. We all talk about pagie but Nika and Edwards has geno trust too. I remember geno said them two just click on early and last night win was freshman’s that carried the team 😆 scary 😧 for the future!!!! We coming (Dan Hurley voice)
