Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4412537, member: 9844"] I'm on the same page as Bone dog here, but want to make the argument from a little different perspective. We have four main guards that are going to consume almost all of the minutes for positions 1-3 with just a few for perhaps Aubrey or Ines. That means whoever doesn't start, lets say Lou or Nika, will have to be the principle backup for not one, but all three positions. That player whoever it is, will likely get at least 15-20 minutes a game. That is far more than backup PG minutes behind Azzi, if it was Nika for example. If you want to limit Nika to backup point guard minutes, then you pretty much have to use Ines to backup the 2 and 3 even though she is described as a PG, or Aubrey more of a 4 as the backup at the 2 and 3. The argument over which guard is number 4 in minutes might be between Lou and Nika, but the argument for Nika getting just backup PG minutes is comparing her to Ines or Aubrey. Ines is very unlikely to take minutes away from the four main guards, and I don't think Aubrey will either, but she could. Assuming the main four capture all but a few of the minutes for 1-3, the positions should be clear. no matter who she is playing with, Nika plays the 1, Azzi is more 2 but some 1. Both Caroline and Lou play 2 and 3. If Aubrey is used mostly at the 3, but maybe some 2, and hopefully if Ines is needed because of injury, mostly the 1 but some 2. [/QUOTE]
