Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4763802, member: 9844"] She could still be nominated as a SF even though everyone knows she is a SG. Basically once Nika was on the PG list, either Azzi or Paige had to be considered as a SF, or a great player would have to be left off their lists. Personally although both would be better at the 2 than the 3, if we have to put one of them at the 3, I think Paige makes more sense than Azzi. Paige is taller, much longer and a much better rebounder than Azzi. She can be great at all three positions and spend significant time at all of them as well. The first guard/wing starter out will probably be Nika, and most likely replaced by a natural 3 in Caroline with Paige moving to the point. If Nika comes back in for say Azzi, Paige can play the 2. Then if Paige gets a quick blow, Azzi goes back in to the 2 and maybe Aubrey subs for Caroline soon thereafter. Of course KK may change all of that, but to a large extent until she proves herself, Nika and Azzi can almost always stay at their best position, Caroline and Aubrey could come in for a 1,2, or 3 and still be kept at their best position when they enter the game, and Paige is the swiss army knife that could be great at all three with her versatility, and enable the others to be where they are most effective. Of course injuries change everything, and I don't know how much Aubrey will be available on the wing if she is needed more upfront. I hope Ice is good enough to start with Aaliyah, and Aubrey can be a super-sub at the 4 and the 3. If Aubrey needs to start with Aaliyah she probably would not play much at the 3. [/QUOTE]
