Message: [QUOTE="Majic Hands, post: 5081572, member: 8345"] Ever since I began visiting the BY I’ve appreciated, admired. Per-haps even been a little envious at times at the intelligence and ability to express ideas and concepts demonstrated by my fellow UConn fans. Yes, here comes the “but”. :) I swear, it seems as if many seem to think that if Paige isn’t the “designated” PG somehow all her talents and abilities magically disappear! Head bang Bringing up Caitlyn Clark as justifying having your best player at Point is a straw man argument. Iowa only had 2 high level players until last year when they had 3. In grade school, high school, yes you tend to have your best player at PG. or someone who can dribble the damn ball. When you get to D1 at a top 10 level institution and you have to put your best player at point. . . You’re not even in the top 30. Hells bells our injury ridden team nearly beat Iowa last year in the final four. Somehow, many seem to forget, at UConn, the coaching staff is going to place players on the floor to maximize “everyone’s” talents in a team structure to win. If Paige is the “PG” this season I’ll just quit trying to apply intellect though to team structure and the approach I’ve observed from UConn for several years now. I expect to see Kaitlyn Chan as point, followed by KK and perhaps a freshman to see how they handle themselves in a real game. I expect to see Jana Al Alfie owning the paint. Followed by I don’t care. In regards to the other 3 players on the floor and who’s available to play I’m sure there are a number of BY’ers here that could calculate the number of possible combinations available. I could probably find a webpage where I could plugin the numbers and get an answer. . . But I don’t care. There is not a single kid on this team I don’t hope the best for and look forward to watching them grow up and learn to play the game as it’s taught at UConn. Final thought. . . Based on what I’ve seen in the past, I expect to see Paige, Ashlyn, Ice or Sarah on the flood as well when the season begins. ;) [/QUOTE]
