Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4133026, member: 504"] First of all, few players can do what Paige can do. Like no team in the country has anyone like her. When she goes down, the character of the offense can’t be nearly the same. With Anna departed (possibly a bigger loss than expected) it really left Nika as the ball handling sub. Evina is more a real combo guard. Maybe she can break a press, but running an offense is not her primary skill. If there has been too Much dependence on Paige, maybe GA could’ve subbed her out for Nika more to give the team used to functioning without depending on Paige. But Nika has been hurt, too. One thing GA can’t do is give a player a skill they really don’t have Williams just isn’t a ball distributor. He doesn’t have that many options. And Azzi hasn’t really had time to adjust and I’m not sure she or Caroline are effective distributors. At least until Nika is back the best he can do is improve ball movement, screening and cutting to get better shots. And as we know, Nika can’t be Paige. But geez’ missing Paige’ Nika, Azzi and Aubrey all at once is a pretty big nut to crack. And with Aliyah not yet matching her freshman year, the burden is pretty great on all the others. [/QUOTE]
