Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 4647153, member: 7093"] I disagree about Nikka. Her increased turnovers, in my opinion, were due to the unrelenting pressure of having to be point guard 40 minutes every game. With KK on the court, not to mention Paige, Nikka can focus more on being the defensive disrupter that she is, and on ball distribution. If she plays 25 minutes per game, she will excel every possession. But your core premise is correct; we need a number of players to be 100% healthy all year, if we are going to have any shot at the NCAA title. And that is not likely. When four of your players ( Paige; Azzi; Ice; and Caroline) are coming off serious, debilitating injuries, hoping for 100% fitness and health is a " Big Ask." I didn't mention Aubrey because full recovery from back injuries are even more difficult to forecast than knee problems and concussions. I believe she intends to play. but the back spasms she experienced at year end are worrisome. Naturally. [/QUOTE]
