I agree that Azzi could be a talented point guard. In fact, in ordinary circumstances I might want her at point even with Paige on the floor. But right now, we only have 4 potential guards, and if Azzi is the exclusive point guard, there is no role for Nika and then we’re down to 3 guards. That doesn’t seem like a sustainable situation. This means Nika will have to play point in order to have any minutes. Like the rest of us, I’m aware of her limitations. I hope she can grow out of some of them. But this where we are.

Here’s another way to think of it. Azzi reminds me of KML. She has a lot of the same skills, is not quite as tall but quite a bit quicker. KML could have played point — she was certainly capable of scoring off the dribble and passing. But it would have seemed strange to all of us to have her do so. With greater quickness and maybe better handles, Azzi would be even better at point, and circumstances are likely to force her to. But we will all feel the cost of not having her as free to shoot 3s.
