Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5285331, member: 12088"] I'm with you on Ayanna. If she's fully recovered, her potential seems very high. I'm mainly thinking about her as a contrast to Ice. They share the same virtue, namely being enormously strong, and their defensive skills seem roughly equivalent, but I think Ayanna has better quickness and footwork. Neither of them has been great on offense at the college level. If Morgan were significantly quicker than Ayanna, I could see her having an advantage that way. But I don't think it's true. On the other hand, she is a better ball handler than Ayanna and that seems to matter to Geno... a lot. I don't think he could use Ayanna to break a press near half court, but he could definitely use Morgan that way. All of this tells me the playing time competition among the three of them will probably be situational. When he needs strength, he'll opt for Ayanna and Ice. When he needs ball handling, Morgan will get the nod. Looking ahead, Ice and Ayanna should probably work on improving their offense and their outlet passing off rebounds. Morgan needs to work on her finishing at the rim -- last season, she looked pretty raw as a scorer. [/QUOTE]
