Message: [QUOTE="Los24, post: 2144050, member: 7629"] Here is the issue by not starting Stevens. I would say that most UConn fans acknowledge the two weaknesses of the team was #1 depth and #2 size. #1 is taken care of but #2 is only filled by Stevens. Also, Stevens is already a proven player with many thinking AA potential for next year. Dangerfield still needs maturation. Also, Stevens allows Gabby to defend at a position that is more suitable to her and not wear her down. Contrary to popular believe she did not shutdown top bigs. She does a good job jumping passes but it was a team (doubling) effort to mostly limit TOP bigs to their season averages. So when we play ND's Tuner or SC's A'ja we should have Stevens sitting? We also get better rebounding, blocks and she is more versatile offensively than Dangerfield overall. She can play down low, elbow or hit from 3. But who knows......... [/QUOTE]
