Or Ally Disterhoft would be another good example of an undersized ‘4’ in a 4-out offense. She was really a ‘3’ playing out of position.
Using the 4-out’ offense, I think Coach J would like her forwards/wings to be interchangeable. If so, Houston, Fison and Woliczko could all switch seamlessly between the two (3 and 4) positions. In addition, Kyle wrote that Coach J was still pursuing a possible /potential “rotation Wing”. I believe that Aaliyah Roberson could fit that role.
Believe Jan may have said something else in regard to this. Seems practice was stated and not rotational for the two outstanding players she's trying to bring in yet.
Jan's Interview Transcript:
"[Q:] You mentioned that you guys are trying to add two more some hopefully next week. what what are the pieces that you're still looking for?
[A:] You know, we don't have a true just point guard, you know,
just someone in practice that you can just sometimes that just understands a point guard role, right? Um Danny and Taylor Stremlow and Chit-Chat can handle that.
But in practice for a whole season, you just need a few more bodies in there. So, I'm hoping maybe a point guard and then a wing of any sort.
Um it's hard. I know a lot of a lot of people want us to get uh bigs. We got 6'4 and 6'5 with Layla and Ava. And we have McKenna Woliczko coming in at about a 61 6'2. Uh but those those positions size that can play the perimeter and and play with their back to the basket. They're they're harder to get with that depth. They want to play a lot. So, it's plugging in the right people. But if we could get a a longer guard and a point guard, I think I'd be great with that."
I also stated in another post regarding Roberson that she will command more $$$ and PT according to her stats and her agents will make sure she gets her fair share for it. Her PER is almost 20. Meaning PT = more $$$. We seemed to have hit a soft wall on the amt of NIL we have remaining.
Also, suspect it's not going to be easy to fill the last two spots for this exact reason. Rotational mins = more $$$. Thus, practice players are what we can expect for the NIL remaining. Which to me, it means they're going to get more of Teagan Mallegni mins and not Layla Hays mins for the remaining two spots Jan talked about.
Roberson is going to be looking to move up the food chain as she got ~900 mins her SO yr and dropped to ~500 mins last yr. With her recent shooting %s and PER, no way I see her taking practice $$$.
I'd like to be wrong about rotational vs practice players but that's what I'm understanding Jan to say. Hopefully I get surprised on this but I'm not expecting much bench production to come from any remaining adds when Jan is talking practice bodies for the whole season.
