Message: [QUOTE="DEpup, post: 3949841, member: 8579"] In my assessment, part of her should welcome DJ so Liv can be more aggressive if she actually wants to be aggesive and not worry about fouls. Liv was much more productive when she knew she would go out for about 20 minutes or so, get business done, and then get out of there. I'm not sure how many centers really want 30+ minutes on an easy night let alone a heavyweight match like playing a Baylor. I can never emphasize enough how much energy it takes to not only run the court but intensely fight for position down low with a 200 lb-ish 6'5" ish player in a big game. And Liv has often had to do it alone against teams that could throw 3 or 4 of these bodies at just her over 40 minutes. I have a psychological theory where I think DJ can lead to Liv playing better aside from the competition part but because she can exhale and play all out for the minutes she'll get knowing she has a partner in these big games. And before you all jump on me, Aaliyah will be out there playing her role as PF but I'm talking C with Liv.... please don't conflate the two positions or ask if Aaliyah is chopped liver. Liv and Aaliyah have critical but different roles to play inorder for UConn to win it all. [/QUOTE]
