Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4771199, member: 26"] I think the OP question is interesting, but in reality, the question more likely would be "will Amari get any real playing time outside the last 4 minutes of blowouts?" I echo the folks who asked "tip off specialist??". If she were to start a game for the tip, she'd most likely be playing the first 4-5 minutes, and I'm not sure she will average much more than that in regular games anyway. She's got height and apparently a pretty decent jumper, but she's coming back from an injury, and I'm just not sure I see her contributing in any meaningful way on the court. As for tip-offs, I would guess Edwards and Patterson could both outjump her. Maybe even Samuels. But it's just a guess. Having said that, she's an incredible teammate. In almost every video or photo of the team, you see her in the middle of everything. She's very well spoken and is a great kid by all accounts that I think all of us are rooting for big time. I have a feeling that this season Amari and Ines may be at the bottom of the depth chart. On a team with 13 total players, that doesn't give a lot of room for them to carve out PT. It seems like both are really enjoying UCONN, Amari especially. This will be a very interesting year to see who trends up, who trends down, and if it changes much during the season. I really do hope that on a team with so much talent, the top players don't really average more than 25-ish MPG to give everyone else a chance to play. [/QUOTE]
