Message: [QUOTE="Doctor G, post: 5135306, member: 13720"] While there isn't a Mariah Jefferson-level PG on the squad, I think the point guard situation is settled. Chen is the starter (even though she is not a natural point guard) and KK is the sub bringing energy and an attack mentality that is difficult gear-shift to deal with after a steady diet of Chen. Chen is a better scoring threat at all 3 levels than KK; she clearly improved her 3-point shot since last season and her hard work is already paying dividends. Chen is also starting to be more aggressive on offense and is reducing the number of times she picks up her dribble pointlessly or forces the ball needlessly. Once UConn's shots really start falling, then the spacing Azzi, Paige, Chen, Strong and Ice can maintain will be difficult to defend (and the players Geno brings of the bench aren't too shabby in the spacing department either). I thing Morgan is a future superstar. She is -- and always has been -- a playmaker with an outstanding b-ball IQ and a winner who makes plays and makes her teammates play better. Anyone who ever saw Morgan play in high school knows she is special. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see her get some minutes in big games this year, and I can definitely see a lot of the offense running through her in the years ahead; however, great as she is , I don't believe she is UConn's point guard of the future (of course, Morgan is so good that I could be completely wrong, too!).
