Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4518010, member: 9844"] I agree with this but, perhaps don't take it quite as far regarding where Paige is best. I'm not sure what is Paige's best position. I feel she could be an All American at the 1 or 2, and maybe the 3. The decision of who plays the point when Nika and Paige are in the game together though is an easy one IMO because Nika is not similarly versatile. Nika cannot be a good shooting guard and can be a good PG. PG Nika and SG Paige is much better than the other way around, and we could see that last year. When Nika plays off the ball she doesn't score or pass much. As a full-time PG that doesn't have to share ballhandling responsibilities she has excelled. Having two great scoring options on the perimeter next year (Azzi & Paige) compliments her best ability (passing) and negates her biggest weakness (scoring) because there are 4 other players who can shoot and create scoring opportunities, so Nika's lack of point production doesn't hurt much. The sum of the parts that compliment each other is greater than just stacking the lineup with another shooter that has to wait their turn for their shot, and in the meantime doesn't make everyone else better like Nika does.
