I feel like Aarnisalo should be starting over Jones

Aarnisalo is leading the team in APG. Shoots almost the same % from three as Londyn (33.3 vs. 34.4), but her overall shooting percentage is 52% to Londyn's 31%. (as a team, UCLA is shooting 33% from 3, led by Gardiner's scorching 43.7%).

I have no stats to back this up, but I feel like Aarnisalo plays better when she starts. Jones is shooting a decent % from three. But, she's streaky. I wonder if she came off the bench, she could get a couple of shots. If she's hitting, keep her in. But, if she's not ....

And, I haven't been able to watch closely enough ... are we sometimes playing a "big" line-up? With Betts, Jacquez, Dugs, Gardiner, Barker, and Dudley (who is shooting almost 48% from the field), there's not a lot of minutes for our bigs. Jones is 4th on the team in minutes per game. Wonder if she could come off the bench, see if she's hot. If she's not, move Gabby to the 2 for a bit? I guess it depends on if Gabby can defend the opposing 2.

Minutes per game, in order:
Betts,
Rice,
Jacquez,
Jones,
Aarnisalo,
Dugalic,
Gardiner,
Barker
