Don’t call Amy Okonkwo a post.

During the off-season, every player on the TCU women’s basketball roster was asked to fill out a profile sheet to give their name and fill out other attributes.

Where it asked her to list her position, Okonkwo emphatically wrote, “positionless.”

A small joking gesture that’s actually more factual than not.

Although you’ll likely catch her primarily play the four or five for TCU this season, her all-around versatility allows head coach Raegan Pebley to use her leading scorer literally anywhere on the floor. She can score down low, pop out to the 3-point line, take anyone on the opposing defense off the dribble and lead the fast break.

Is senior center Jordan Moore in foul trouble? Move Okonkwo to the five. Does junior guard Kianna Ray need a breather? Let Okonkwo handle the ball and initiate the offense. She’s one of TCU’s queens on a chess board.

“You can move them in any direction you want, and you can’t win without your queen,” Pebley said.

Because of that versatility, Pebley chose to deploy her go-to player in a unique way – exclusively off the bench. Okonkwo didn’t start a single game during the 2017-18 season and finished as the Horned Frogs’ leading scorer (14.4 points per game), was named the Big XII Sixth Player of the Year and helped guide TCU to its highest win total in 10 years that culminated with a WNIT semifinals run.

“Coming off the bench was a good idea in the sense that I can come off and give a good spark, give the team some energy and get us going a little bit more,” Okonkwo said. “I didn’t think it was any pressure. I was ready to go whenever whether if I started or not, that was never on my mind.”
