Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4097525, member: 7492"] Ok, let's get the main points back in sync on this board as some posters seem to be parsing and veering on a path not on point. [LIST] [*]The fact is CW has started 98 of 99 games at UConn, her only game she didn't start was Senior night her freshman year. [*]CW was the #1 player in her class, has always worked hard, put forth the effort and while the results were not what we wanted as BY posters, Geno has supported her by starting. [*]Some of the brethren here are suggesting that CW could lose her starting spot and then use Lorin Dixon being replace by Bria Hartley being given as an example. [/LIST] So YES, that "example" is laughable on many levels as Lorin had started only 1 game and the talent that Bria had/has was abundant and is why she's in the WNBA. Talent trumps as they say. CW is talented and while others (Azzi/Caroline Ducharme) may have as much talent or potentially more, that gap between Bria and Lorin was significantly vast, whereas the talent gap between CW and any sub is either not there or very small. Geno will not be benching CW for anyone. If her defense is poor, I could see her minutes being reduced, that's the extent of any limitations. Heck, even DT did not start for UConn until injuries forced the situation on that loaded team. If anyone wants to say that a starter would lose the starting position due to being outplayed in practice or consistently underperforming in games, yes, that is true under Geno but the specific point was being made for replacing CW and that is not happening. If you want to die on that hill than so be it but no one is buying that argument. [/QUOTE]
