Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3841355, member: 1131"] As a matter of fact, when Olivia got her fourth foul, I was thinking that now would be the time to put Anna into the game. Geno mentioned in the postgame press conference that Evina, even if fully healthy, is in a tough position when he plays a small lineup and she has to guard the other team's "4" -- Saxton or Amihere this evening. Anna would be better at guarding players like that. If Liv and Aaliyah are going to play together (and I think they should), then someone has to be the "third post" when one of them gets into foul trouble. Right now, that seems to be Aubrey, who is not an ideal choice. At times, it has been Evina or Mir. But the best person on the roster for that role is Anna (until Saylor or Caroline Ducharme next year get up to speed). Like Liv and Aaliyah, the person who fills that role needs to have a credible shot from the high post. Anna and Evina have that shot, but Anna is better suited to mix it up in the paint and grab rebounds than Evina is, particularly with her gimpy knee. [/QUOTE]
