Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4704108, member: 12088"] It’s so easy to forget how huge Aubrey’s contribution can be. We saw some of it last year, but mainly on a patchwork team. I want to see her this year, not as a forced-into-action starter, but as the devastating lightning bolt of awesomeness off the bench that she can be. 20 minutes of Aubrey off the bench is probably more effective than 40 minutes. Teams will quake to see her at the scorer’s table. How weird (and disorienting) would it be for Geno to start Nika Azzi and Aubrey in the backcourt and press opponents hard for 5 minutes, and only then bring in Paige and Caroline and dominate in the half court offense? I mean, the second team is really the first team, but that opening press/transition team might just break the spirit of a lot of teams. Imagine teams breathing a sigh of relief to see Paige and Caroline subbing in for Nika and Aubrey. Irony. [/QUOTE]
