When Paige and Nika are in together, Paige should play the 2 and Nika the 1.  We got a lot of baskets in transition last year, and no matter who scored, Nika was the person that got them the ball.  She is the only guard that pushes the offence, so Paige and company can run down the court to retrieve one of Nikas passes.  Right now, we don't need Paige to be the assist person, we need her to score.  Until somebody else steps up to the plate to knock shots down, Paige is our best option.  Obviously if Paige wants, or needs to create her own magic, even if Nika is on the floor, she will.  I'm not trying to stifle Paiges game, just give her more opportunities to get easy baskets on the run.  We can't leave everything to Paige, and that is one of our problems.  Let's go with what worked last year, and with Paige out there as a shooter, we should at least do as good this time.  Aaliyah, Aubrey, and Caroline did well on the break, so lets stop trying to figure new ways to score, and let's get back to what has always worked.  KK can also push it, but she needs more experience to be the #1 pusher.
