Geno put Gabby in the post because that was where she could be most effective.  Early on she couldn't consistently make perimeter shots which is pretty essential when you play guard.  What's the point of having a guard on the perimeter who doesn't need to be guarded on the perimeter?  During her time at UConn Geno has encouraged Gabby to work on her ball-handling and perimeter shooting which, coupled with her quickness and athletic ability, would make her that much more difficult to defend.  Gabby has put in the work but seems to still lack confidence in her shot-making ability.  There's nothing about playing the post in Geno's offense that prohibits that player from scoring from the perimeter.  Stewie was 6-4 and scored from spots all over the court; Maya played the 4 and scored in the lane and beyond the arc.  Geno would love it if Gabby showed the same versatility.  It's up to Gabby to have the confidence to take and make perimeter shots.
