Message: [QUOTE="Earls & Kings, post: 2128814, member: 7364"] Gabby came in as a guard, Geno saw much more in her. I'm betting he still sees the flexibility, intelligence and athleticism that allows her to excel anywhere on the floor. She will also be our shortest starter, at the point, so let the other teams match her up with a big defender, creating bigger mismatches elsewhere, and taking them away from their norm, which will make them uncomfortable. I look forward to watching Gabby hdrive around, through, or over them before they get set. And I believe with her pin point passing she will find a way to deliver the ball to the wings as well as the posts, along the way. About zones, From what I've seen we've got lots of zone busters, we move the ball quickly and we drive and kick very well. The zone may not be our opponents comfort [B]zone[I] [/I][/B]and when it's shredded they may come unglued: advantage us. Another reason I see Gabby at the point is that Geno likes to put his best five on the floor, then figure out how the roles will work. Stevens is one of his best five, Dangerfield isn't, not yet. I also think that Geno prepares his players for the next level, especially those he holds in the high esteem. He holds Gabby in the highest esteem, so it's time to move her out of the post into a position she can thrive in as a post grad. I expect Geno to be thinking outside the box, where he does his best work...he may do something we will never dream up, and I'm sure it will work. [/QUOTE]
