Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 5080733, member: 11664"] I think that how Geno utilizes the PG's will be based on the results of the tougher OOC games. Paige will draw a lot of attention from defenses no matter which position she plays which should open up more passing opportunities for other players. And which other players receive the passes requires court vision & experience. I can't imagine anyone being better than Paige in those areas or who has as much of Geno's trust. it can also depend on who is the primary SG & if they're able to make their shots. I think that Geno will react to how well plays are being executed on the court. Another important factor is that Paige hasn't had as much recent experience at PG becaue of Nika & also KK playing it. That makes it all the more important for Paige to re-establish her leadership position as being the primary PG. There aren't that many tough games on the schedule. If Paige is not the primary PG then that could mean the team is lacking an effective SG, or isn't able to execute as well as it should. If this year's ream is going to be Paige's team then she needs to run the team as it's QB and know when to pass & when to shoot because she's going to be drawing a lot of attention. The other PG's & players are going to need to learn how to penetrate, shoot & score efficientlly or else they'll become too over reliant on Paige to do all of the hard work to score. It's better that Paige is the primary PG for the most part so she can decide who gets the passes & draw the defense away from the others. She has the best court vision & BB IQ. Nika was a very good PG, as is Chen & KK. But I don't trust that any of them really know how to creatively distribute the ball to other players as well as Paige can. But all of the players should know how to penetrate & score when Paige passes them the ball, if she's not shooting. [/QUOTE]
