Message: [QUOTE="TeamFirst!, post: 4117350, member: 11538"] Call me skeptical but sometimes coaches seem to give injury reports as small "excuses" to help ease the pressure on the player when he/she is going to give them less PT suddenly. I think Geno is probably aware of this option. Let's be honest. We do not know the situation of course but just a few weeks ago Azzi said her foot was fine now. Probably it is still a factor but she felt she could play with it. Lot's of us quickly noted a defensive liability and frankly I saw it in her high school footage. She is clearly a great athlete but even a great athlete can lack in a specific area. Could Larry Bird dance well? I doubt it. Azzi's game is all about SUPPLEMENTING a team. If given a lot of screens she will make a good team a elite 8 team. Look at Iowa. Even with a top scoring guard they still are elite 8 at best. We can't bank on Azzi winning the college championship. She's going to need a lot of help and fortunately she will probably have it and have a chance. She's not Larry Bird or Magic Johnson. She is going to need more development time. I'm fine with that. That is what I expected several weeks ago. I still think Caroline is the more important project. [/QUOTE]
