Message: [QUOTE="PacoSwede, post: 4985065, member: 120"] paige is a terrific point guard so i'm fine with her filling that role -- [I]if [/I]the team is better with her there. i don't like posts that says she gotta be the point guard. maybe she will be, but it's geno's call and i'm ok with that. let's remember that taurasi has the tools to play point guard, but she hasn't been designated as the point, even at uconn -- where she clearly would have been the best point in her last three years -- nor at phoenix nor at the olympics (not sure about overseas). i'm guessing that's because whoever was in charge knew the team was better when her scoring and versatility was exploited. in paige's case, i prefer her [B]not [/B]playing point -- as much as she, and i BTW, likes it -- because it forces her to[B] not[/B] be the facilitator. you say she can still be a scorer ... 'if she's looking for shot.' the problem is that paige tends not the look for her shots even when she's the shooting guard, wing or forward. it's a big flaw that can be corrected, but playing the point won't help her make the correction. RE: the wnba paige playing the point is simply speculation. it would depend on the team she joins. [/QUOTE]
