I think Ice and Ayanna will be tremendous. It may take a little while for them to find their footing. But it will happen.

My remarks about switching placing Ayanna in a difficult situation is not about recruiting posts. Please don’t make me explain this again.

Lots of folks have said how wonderful it will be this year to let Ayanna and Aubrey play the 3 occasionally. I think this could be an interesting move for us, but it has its downside as well. This is what I’ve said several times already.

What’s the downside? Team speed. Ayanna is quick for a pf, but not for a wing. That is my entire observation. Some may think I’m wrong about this and that Ayanna is quick enough to cover any guards she may get switched on to. This is possible. It’s only my guess based on extrapolations from watching a few of her games.

I think having Nika  Azzi Caroline (or Lou) on the floor is a quicker unit than Nika Azzi Ayanna, or Azzi Caroline Ayanna. There will be some situations in which this slower unit is still quick enough, but others in which it isn’t. There, that’s the entirety of my thinking on this topic.
