Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4786511, member: 12088"] I don’t know how much the starting spot matters, but Geno seemed to have reasons for limiting [B]Aubrey’s[/B] minutes. They may be tactical or medical, but either way he said something to the effect that he would use her in 3-4 minute bursts. That suggests 15-20 mins/g. [B]Caroline[/B] probably wouldn’t play more than that in any event, but we can all imagine reasons for limiting her minutes. I definitely do [B]not[/B] think Caroline is a liability. But there obviously are opponents she would work better against. Within a narrow context, [B]Qadence’s[/B] shooting was an important factor in keeping us close yesterday. This leads us to discount her defensive lapses and imagine her as a primary contributor right away. She will get there soon, maybe very soon. But she still needs to develop within the team defensive scheme. Patience is still called for, I suspect. If [B]Ashlynn[/B] gets 4 steals 6 rebounds and hits a few 3s against MD — she’s capable of it — we’ll all want her to start somewhere. But patience will still be needed for the following game in which she flounders. The same goes for [B]KK[/B] and [B]Ice[/B]. Each will have games when they seem to be just what’s needed and others when they can’t seem to get any traction. [/QUOTE]
