Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 4227460, member: 11281"] Really not seeing Dorka returning....she has quickly learned and gained confidence in playing UConn WBB and, in a short time, has showed what she can do to Pro Scouts. Though she would like to play in the WNBA, I am sure European clubs have noticed. She does need to get a bit stronger, so there's hope for the hopers for her return. Regardless, Ayanna will back up Aaliyah....and she is probably more athletic. That position is going to be very solid: starter and backup. I can even see a "small" ball lineup with the two of them in the front court at the same time, though more than likely, it will be Caroline with Aaliyah in small ball lineups. If Dorka returns, she starts. But the pecking order doesn't change if she does not., which will see Amari is likely to start and Piath rotate with her at the beginning of the year. But there is every likelihood that Isuneh Brady will see significant minutes by mid-season and could even challenge for starting come tournament time. He physical attributes will help: she will hold her ground in the post - Amari and Piath are easier to move, unless they get stronger. I am not as concerned about Amari as some have expressed here: her best attribute so far is her play at the high post and versatility in the offense, though seldom seen. Piath, on the other hand, is strictly a low-post player right now....nimble but still training her feet how to move around there. Both will be OK and contribute. For now, the strengths of this team next year are guards and wings......if the post players learn to play defense well, that will most likely be enough to sustain success. [/QUOTE]
