Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 4372023, member: 1673"] This is changing the discussion. With Bueckers and Westbrook available in the tournament, the only reason Auriemma would be concerned about PG minutes for Muhl is to not overuse Bueckers. If Bueckers was available now we would not be having this discussion at all. When Bueckers was not available last year Muhl’s PG minutes went up, why would you not think the same to be true this coming year? Last year when Fudd, Ducharme and Muhl were the three guards on the floor together who generally played PG? Why should that change this year? One reason could be what you bring up, Muhl’s tendency to foul. That could indeed hold her back and limit her minutes. Note that I never claimed with certainty that she was going to get major PG minutes, but I do claim it is bad news if she doesn’t. You say go by what Auriemma does. If the guards he puts on the floor are Fudd, Ducharme and Muhl, Auriemma already has demonstrated by his actions he wants Muhl as PG. The same was true if you swap C. Williams for Fudd or Ducharme. Honestly, the best case you could make is that Senechal might be more suited for PG, of which I have no idea. But by your own criteria of Auriemma’s actions he has consistently chosen Muhl over Fudd and Ducharme as PG when using those three together. [/QUOTE]
