Message: [QUOTE="JonathanXIV, post: 3735026, member: 9217"] I understand that college roster construction is not the same as professional basketball roster construction (challenges of recruitment can limit options), but the roster that Geno has put together is in keeping with trends we are seeing at the professional level. Specifically, lineups characterized by quick, athletic players who can shoot well front distance, smaller, quick lineups that can defend interchangeably on the perimeter, and athletic, mobile bigs. Take a look at UConn's roster (including next year's class). Athletic players who can shoot from distance (Anna, Saylor, Paige, Caroline, Azzi, CW, Evina). Check. Lineups that can defend the perimeter (Aubrey, Mir, Evina, Saylor, Caroline, Nika), Check. Athletic, mobile bigs (Edwards, Ono, Amiri). Check. Add to this a team full of exceptional passers (Paige, Anna, Nika). I love the way that this team is coming together. I think they are going to be a matchup nightmare that will effectively neutralize what other teams can do. And they are going to be incredibly fun to watch. [/QUOTE]
