Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2144375, member: 3535"] Okay -- though there is nothing I agree with you on. We can agree to disagree. 1--- Geno has said after two years he expects AZ to go 1st in the draft. She already was an honorable a/a. No way I see them playing the same minutes unless an injury happens. Too much of a ceiling for AZ. 2-- While you say "though undersized"- I say "yes it was a weakness that they were undersized." Part fo the weakness was that they were getting into foul trouble because they were so small because they were playing out of position. Why go into a game acknowledging you are playing players out of position in which you've seen for yourself that they often have gotten into foul trouble? SO now you think ti best to take Gabby out of the game for a half because she picked up two tick-tack quick fouls all because you want more ball-handling? 3-- Regarding your point on Danger being "the best ball-handler"-- so what? If being "the best" at one aspect is such a big deal - then no one can defend the perimeter better than Gabby, correct? Or Collier-- forced to paly centers. SO you can keep Gabby or Collier out of foul trouble more often because at 5'11 and 6'1 they aren't playing out of position and getting into quick foul trouble. So you are getting better defense when you slide each player away from the center spot and to their natural position. How does ball-handling in which we already have good ball-handlers trump that? 4-- The team didn't win a championship at 36-1. Weaknesses of getting beat by rebounding was exposed. Geno had said all year he was surprised how well the team did for a reason- imo the major weaknesses were rebounding and size which caused foul issues with Collier and Gabby. 5-- In-game experience from this past year will have little impact of AZ vs Danger for the end of next season. AZ will have enough in-game experience by that time. My point has never been the 1st two eeks etc. Danger won't start by the end vs the other 5 mentioned imo. 6-- You can't use DT, Stew and Maya. They were incoming high school vas already established players like AZ is now. Anyhow each player by the end started though injuries played a factor. I just think if you have players equal in performance or in this case AZ is superior vsCD-- and the superior player fills a weakness like AZ can-- you don't go give the starter position to a lesser player by the end of end of the season just because she is better at ball-handling. The team is already pretty good at ball-handling without her. And her size on defense is an issue. There are no issues other than early season UCONN style from AZ. [/QUOTE]
