Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 5325000, member: 7171"] It will be fascinating to see how all of the interrelated storylines (otherwise known as "competition") develop over the course of the preseason and into the regular season. Certainly, there are many indications that Blanca will make a huge impression, even to the point of breaking into the starting lineup. But how does that impact Caroline and Morgan? If and when healthy they have shown themselves to be real contributors at the small forward position. How do their minutes shake out? Serah, Sarah and Azzi are locks to start. Will Geno reward KK and Shade with starting roles, or is their "instant energy" off the bench during the Championship run something he wishes to maintain? How does playing time get sorted out between Ayanna, Ice and Jana? Can Allie improve her defense enough to get on the court and display her (hopefully) deadly three point shooting? Will we see KK and Kayleigh on the floor together at times? And so on. These are nice problems to have. It was not that long ago that multiple players were being forced to log 40 minutes per game. This is much preferred, obviously. I think that Blanca will show herself to be an exceptional force, with tremendous skill and energy, and that will all be obvious early in the preseason. She may very well start but at a minimum I expect her to be contributing significantly as an early sub off the bench. [/QUOTE]
