I think Crystal stays as a starter and Geno gradually works in Coombs as her back up in case of foul trouble or to give her a rest.  Z comes off the bench to give the other 4 some rest or foul trouble relief, so she gets 8 minutes while Gabby rests, 8 minutes while KLS rests, 8 minutes while Collier rests, 8 minutes while Kia rests and KLS moves to the 2.   Oh wait, that is 32 minutes, a little too high.  So that gives some time to Megan, and Bat girl (do we already have a nickname for her???) when she returns.  And if last year's core four really get 28 minutes, not 32, that opens up some more minutes for the others.   So if Z winds up with the same minutes as the starters, I don't think she minds not starting for this year.  Which also encourages her to come back for next year to be a starter.   Kind of like what happened Wednesday.  Z came in during the first quarter, 5 minutes in.   Last year Geno would let the starters play into the second quarter.   I don't see that happening as much this year.   But I could see Geno swapping roles for Gabby and Z and letting Gabby get her 28 minutes coming off the bench.   Let Gabby play the 2, 3, 4 and 5 to show the WNBA how versatile she is.
