In defense of Haley:

1. Sacrificing her game, possibly end season awards and WNBA draft stock and her best position (4) to play the 3 position because coaches have told her this is what is best for the team. She IS an All-American at the 4 spot, not 3 and sure as hell not the 1. And I think she is a better 4 than Kiki but Cam is emerging as the best 4 (not 5) of them all.

Is the 4 her natural spot?  She is glorious around the basket, but she is quite short for a 4, particularly against a team like South Carolina.  And I thought that her pro prospects would substantially improve as she proves her versatility--that is partly how the move was justified.

That said, the "positionless basketball" that we seem to be playing ought to favor a versatile player like her.  However, I am all for putting her in whatever position gets her out of her slump and lets her be the best she can be.  We need that.
