Your 1st sentence says it all. She was a first year player coming off an achilles tear. She deserves a degree of patience. Her work in the FF is the important thing to focus on. Betts couldn't move Jana. 
   Height is not what separates centers and power forwards. It's size/strength. There's a difference.  
   Williams is a senior and El Alfy a sophomore but El Alfy has a "UConn experience" advantage over Williams, who is learning to play with others who are as good or better than her.

The big puzzle the UConn coaches have to solve is who plays best with whom. Some years the answer is obvious but the immense inflow of elite talent to the active roster this season makes this a 1000 piece puzzle consisting of nothing but shades of gray. Ducharme, Williams, Quinonez and Heckel are all proven performers. UConn could win a title as a small & fast team or a huge physical team. Pundits will say that UConn may have too much talent. I say that they also have the best coaching staff in the country.
