...if you're thinking about basketball, that is.

Breezy Bri will be the ultimate insurance policy for whatever defensive strategy and alignment MM chooses to go with: man, zone, match-up zone, press.
The blocks are great, of course, but her weak-side help and lateral quickness that can help protect against aircraft carrier-centers and light-on-their feet forwards.

The obvious and #1 pairing is with her buddy, Jess Shepard, but I can see her easily working with an agile forward like Danielle Paterson, as well as a four-guard lineup. And the idea of having she and Shep work with Mik Vaughn and Danielle Cosgrove-- both in practice and games -- for down the road is great.

With Bri and depth at the post/forward, MM can get aggressive on defense if she choose to: it will be fun to see hustlers like Marina and Abby Prohaska get in someone's grill or attack passing lanes knowing Bri is back there to allow them to take chances.
