Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4647391, member: 3535"] I have KK coming in when either UCONN is comfortably ahead or in blowouts. KK is behind Nika. For me that is obvious. And when Paige is the PG, if Nika is not in, then KK is behind Azzi, Caroline, and Aubrey as far as wings go if she is not the pg. At the point she comes in UCONN will be far enough ahead then yes, she can take shots away from Paige and Azzi. Paige and Azzi don’t need to continue to be huge scorers throughout a game when they are over 20 ahead. You say what Paige says. I'll quote what Geno says. He wants Paige and Azzi to shoot. He wants them to shoot because they are obscenely efficient scorers. When you have efficient scorers, you don’t have to rely on offensive rebounding as much. It's all about efficiency and performance. Not about "baptism of fire." And if KK beats out Nika great. Number 1 ranked recruits or near tend to be able to play right away and KK isn't that. If you think KK is going to beat out Nika - more power to you if she is able to outplay this year's version of Nika. But I tend to believe some of you get infatuated with the new toy. I recall a few years ago how many on her were infatuated with Saylor Poffenbarger in that she was going to come in the 2nd half of her H/S year and beat out experienced UCONN players. That never came close to happening. There is too much new toy envy here. [/QUOTE]
