I am going to risk the wrath but given those comments if we might be best off playing Nivar a lot in the first half and saving Jump until we tire their guards a bit?

It’s not the worst idea—Nivar played quite well yesterday—but Tara would never go for it. She loves having Jump in the game as much as possible.

Jump does help space the floor, even when she is face guarded.  And she is quite good at the back door cut--she usually gets a couple of those against teams who guard her closely.  But I do think there will be a big role for Nivar, Bogana, and a driving Lepolo.
