Ava Heiden?

Heiden, not Harden (for the op).
But to your point, right on...three good players to play the 5, and only one of them can be out there at a time. Ava draws short straw as the freshman. She struggles with some of the nuances of defensive positioning, as well as with shot selection. I love her potential, and wish she could get more minutes, but I agree with the staff that Hannah at the 4 wasn't working.
Heiden has gotten a taste this year, and she will be a valuable sub next year. By junior year, the spot is hers for the taking (if she can beat out the 6'5" freshman coming next year).

I'm guessing she starts next year, I don't think Hannah as a 4 is over, they just needed to get into win now mode this season.

A couple thoughts.
I understand the win now mode, but Hannah needs to play the 4 not the 5, that's where her WNBA potential is. She's got a WNBA body, and her game is getting there but it still needs work. Maybe next year at the 4 then.
At least Ava isn't injured, but I'm surprised she isn't getting any minutes, she's the future at the 5. Next year with the 6'5" gal coming in from Alaska, the two of them will be manning the middle. Ava will still be growing into the position, she needs experience.
In Jan and staff, we trust.
