Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5260983, member: 12088"] Just to flog that same old horse, while Paige was technically the PG much of the time, and KK and Kaitlyn some of the time, what Geno really had was a bunch of excellent ball handlers on the floor at any one time. And how often did folks complain that Paige -- the PG of choice for many -- would pass the ball after crossing midcourt and then take her spot on the wing or move into the weave? I'll wager that the entire team knows the playbook and knows where to go to initiate any particular play. Some perhaps are not as adept -- see Ice's turnover in the final game when she got caught out of position near midcourt. But I doubt we'll see a single lineup that doesn't have at least 3 capable ball handlers or, as I like to say, PG-equvalents. In the beginning of the season, it will be Azzi KK Ash Sarah and Morgan (and maybe Caroline), and later in the season that list will include Kelis and Blanca. And just to think through the numbers, Azzi Paige and Sarah rarely played 30 mins/game. This season, I expect that trend to continue, only now it will be Azzi Sarah Ash and KK who will rarely play 30 mins. Maybe Blanca or Morgan will get some of Ash's minutes, maybe Kelis will get some of KK's. But there will be no shortage of PG skills on the floor at ay one time. [/QUOTE]
