On the other hand, forward experience may help her in the long run. Any ideas on points I should stress for this temporary transition. Well first of all I think you're on target when you say playing some forward will help her. One of the most difficult transitions for young PG's or shooting guards to make on to the higher levels is being an effective player when they don' t have the ball.
Forwards generally have a little less space to work with on the court than say the point guard.
We will be having a clinic on getting open in the coming month where I'll go more into detail on this. The bottom line is she should be able to explode from a stationary position for 2 or 3 steps and then be able to quickly stop and reverse directions. If she is overplayed she can learn to seal the defender off away from the basket. When the defense tries to release this pressure for fear of a backdoor cut, or lob pass, it usually doesn't take much effort to get open in the direction of the ball. The toughest players to guard are those that use their bodies to effectively maintain the space or position on the court that they want.
