Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5025874, member: 9844"] Rather than all in on a particular strategy, I think this roster enables Geno to pursue various strategies, with the good news being potentially we could be very good inside, outside, and from mid range. I say potentially because the inside part is not quite as certain at this point. I personally think Jana and Sarah will be effective there, also score from other parts of the floor, but since they have not played yet there is some uncertainty. As for other low post options, Ice and Ayanna have not been that good down low, but I think Ice at least has the potential to be effective there. Aubrey when she returns can score inside but more as a slasher. In short to be really good inside we need Jana and Sarah to be the real deal, which I think they will be. The good outside options have been mentioned by everyone here. Some may be good enough to take 3's when they present themselves, like KK, Kaitlin, perhaps Morgan, and Jana and Ice, and others are in the you can't leave them alone category like Paige, Azzi, Allie, Ashlyn, Caroline and Q. Since Paige and Azzi on the perimeter and Sarah upfront should get big minutes, most of the time we will have at least three very good 3pt shooters on the floor. Four if teamed with one of the other great perimeter shooters. As for mid range, we have two players with exceptional pull up jumpers in Paige and Azzi. Kaitlin's specialty is that range as well, Caroline has shown that ability, and based on the videos I think Morgan will be strong there as well. We could be great from all three zones, have a few more uncertainties but potential inside, and could load up on three point shooters if Geno wants to. With Jana and Sarah in the lineup I think we will have good balance and a pick your poison scenario for opposing coaches. When we go to the bench upfront, i think we may become more perimeter oriented, and could stack the lineup with great long range options and go 4 out instead of using two bigs. If healthy and the newcomers are good too, lots of very good options, a situation injuries have denied us the last few years. [/QUOTE]
