The player with primary ball handling duty doesn’t have to be the same person guarding the opponent’s point guard.  When Nicole Powell played point forward for us, we still had guards playing defense on the opponent’s point guard.

You could imagine a situation where Jones brings the ball up, but a smaller guard defends the opponent’s point guard.

Great point about Nicole, but IIRC in the SoCarolina game Haley brought the ball up on our very first possession and nearly lost it.  I do kind of hold my breath when she puts the ball on the floor at this point.  Hopefully that will change.
