This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

With KK and Anna leaving there is more room now by IRISHFAN2008

Olsen is a combo guard and could back up the 1 or the 2. Both Cass and Emma could easily rotate to the 3 if needed.

Outside of the starters, there isn't a lot of guard depth off the bench now. I still don't feel Cass is a true "guard" but more of a wing. Sometimes it feels like Cass is stretch four trying to be a guard and ballhandling is not her strength.

Also it's possible Cass's injury might carry into next season and Niele wants some insurance. She doesn't want to be left without enough ballhandlers like when she had to have Soni and KK play out of position.
