Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4718899, member: 5798"] I would not be surprised or disappointed if Ducharme is in the starting lineup that first game. Geno is going to start the 5 that work/play best together. Not necessarily the best scorers. We don't know who that's going to be yet. [B]I've already gone on record as to who the "locks" are to start......Paige, Azzi, and Aaliyah. [/B] There are (IMO) 4 other players Geno could very easily fill those other two spots with. I have no preference for who starts. I'm more concerned with who finishes, how they finish, and did we win!!! Geno may start one player over another because of her ability to play better defense than another player who may be more gifted offensively. The [B]unit as a whole[/B] may be better with the player that's slightly better defensively. We know the players that start in November are not necessarily the players that will start in March. Starting lineups can be fluid. I will not argue or debate anyone's starting lineup. You like who you like. We'll have to wait 4 more months to see who Geno sends out there to start that first game in November. Next week we get our first game from Croatia. Lots of fodder to chew on after that game. We should see plenty of the freshmen as some of the returnees are still recovering from surgical and minor medical procedures over the summer, and may not be cleared or ready to play. I doubt we'll see Paige play. She said earlier this summer that she was reluctant to play in August, and preferred to wait until November. [/QUOTE]
