Message: [QUOTE="cferraro04, post: 4442304, member: 267"] When doing any player by player analysis it is impossible to know for certain who will actually play who as the coaching staff makes those decisions. Oftentimes, these type of analysis don’t always do match-ups based on who actually guards who. Statistics are what they are…Caitlyn has shown she can average high 20s in scoring and can produce 6-7 assists per game. Azzi has shown that she is a pure shooter and can go off for 30 plus points. Azzi has not shown that she is willing or capable of averaging more than a few assists and a couple of rebounds, Lou has demonstrated that she is a classic scorer. Aubrey has shown tremendous athleticism….I think you get the picture. Each team has a persona a character if you will. Match-up analysis in my opinion are more about which player negates best an opposing teams similar player. As you proceed down the roster of starters and players who play significant minutes you eventually see a stronger team emerge. Of course you try to hit upon probable match-ups and discuss how the players impact one another and if you hit three out of five it is still 60 percent. That is part of the intangibles of the game no one is Geno and he will make decisions and adjustments the way he believes will help his team beat a particular opponent and that is why he is one of the best in the nation. Those that call this exercise dumb or a waste of time seem to want to make this personal. My response would be just don’t read threads like these. If you read the comments in the thread there are some who enjoy these types of threads. After all it is only an exercise, a personal opinion designed to stimulate conversation not adversity. If I offended anyone’s sensitivities I apologize…that certainly was not my intention. [/QUOTE]
