No she did not! She played the wing starting the offensive sets behind the arc and she defended on the perimeter. Do you even know what a post or wing player is? If she ended up in the paint it was because she dropped down from the wing for help defense or an offensive rebound. She was a wing forward-Good lord!In the game you posted, Aaliyah spent a good deal of time in the paint, rebounding and defending against veteran USA posts. In the minutes she played, she was effective and she wasn’t intimidated, even when she was blindsided by one of Steph’s patented screens.
I’m not suggesting that Aaliyah needs to play 30 mpg at the post. I think she’ll get more minutes at the 4. But as a backup for Liv for 10-15 mpg, against college level competition, she will be effective.
Her first foul was well above the arc defending Arike.
