Message: [QUOTE="bayern7, post: 3481749, member: 10631"] PG/Point F - Makurat W - Williams W - Westbrook PF - Edwards PF - Nelson-Ododa I love Griffin as a player but she's still going to be too raw of an offensive player next season. I see her making the jump her junior year not next...that being said she'll still get A LOT of minutes off the bench. I gave Edwards the start because I think she brings the experience, athleticism, and offensive game at a size that this team will need while also complimenting ONO on the defensive end. The other three seem like obvious locks to me, only question mark I have is Westbrook. Obviously a really talented player who's had a year with the team already but playing well in games for a new program is an adjustment for any player. That being said, if the athletic ability is still where it once was come next season. She, along with CW will be a go to player for this team down the stretch. Paige is an incredible talent but I doubt she'll start off the season as a starter and if she does I don't foresee it lasting all season long. Her woman to woman defense IMHO is pretty bad and there's a lot of pressure on her shoulders to perform so it may be best to let her work her way into the pressure cooker position that is PG at UConn. She along with Griffin will be amongst the first players off the bench, spelling Westbrook, Williams, and Makurat. I think McLean will follow a path similar to Griffin/G. Williams, and Muhl actually has the potential to have a big impact on this team depending on how well she can translate her game to this system and the physicality of college ball. I haven't seen any footage of Gabriel to judge her game, but going by her size and things I've read about her she may surprise in a couple ways. [/QUOTE]
