We basically are going 10 deep, with all 10 playing in every game and averaging 10+ minutes a game, with Green, Brown, and Winfrey the odds ones out.
Sophie, Amber, Lauren are at 30-31 min a game
Schuchts, Berg, Chavis are in the 16-20 min range
Troup, Tahane, Levy, Roundtree 11-14 min range
'Going small' to me would be a lineup with Sophie, Amber, Berg, then having Lauren, Chavis, Levy, and Troup rotate the other 2 spots for much of the time. I guess by definition that's fewer minutes for Schuchts and Tahane and I know that takes away what little size and rebounding inside, but somethings got to give. And it won't matter anyways if several of the group of Berg, Troup, Chavis, Aldridge don't step up on offense consistantly.
I'm not as sold on Schuchts as many others here, even though she is shooting 54% overall and 43% from 3s. You take away that fluke 25 point explosion against Duke, and she hasn't been close to double figures in the other 9 games, and take away her 8-8, 6-6 shooting in that game and she is hitting 42% and 27% in the other 9 games.
The offense isn't functioning at all like I understood RP to describe it in the off season.
Will be interesting to see how they come out to play today. There better be some sense of urgency.
