Keeps Jones out of the pg role and keeps Brink a little closer to the basket. Of course it requires that we play a freshman at PG. South Carolina is using a redshirt freshman there....I bet Tara doesn't want to start a freshman in a high stakes game, but she could start Jones at pg and then move her over to a more natural position by inserting Lepolo later after the game calms down a little.
5. Iriafen / Betts / Belibi
4. Brink (stretch 4) / Prechtel
3. Jones / Demetre
2. Jump / Bosgana
1. Lepolo / Nivar / Harriel
What about Agnes?
Another way of putting it: Jones playing point guard makes it possible to have guard who is a defensive specialist. Once one decides to put Jones in another position then you have to use Lepolo/Nivar/Harriel and that leaves no room for Emma-Nnopu. Now, I am assuming she can't play point guard, but I admit that is an assumption.
Anna Wilson did not have this problem since she could be both a defensive specialist as well as playing point.
Well, Agnes has been a starter so far this season and you don't have her anywhere on your proposed 3 deep depth chart. I thought you might have merely overlooked her.
