Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4371759, member: 12088"] We might call Nika “the most important player” in a few senses. Best defender, best scorer, best passer, etc. We might also think she’s important as a sort of “canary in the coal mine.” If she succeeds in avoiding fouls and scores off the dribble enough to make her effective for longer, this may make it possible for the others to actually carry the team. If we see her regularly getting 25+ mins, even if her other stats don’t leap off the page, it might signal to us that we can run our usual offense, that she’s done enough. [/QUOTE]
