I don’t think Geno would demote any of the Core 4.  Three of them are All-Americans, and Kia is a 4-year starter and Olympian.  Then, the question becomes:  Who is the 5th starter?  Based on one game, it appears to be Crystal.  She had 7 assists and should have had 10, if not for missed layups.

Azura is really, really good, but I don’t think she cracks the veteran starting lineup.  Despite that, she will compete for AA status.  I don’t know if she will compete for POY status, as I see Lou, Gabby, and Pheesa ahead of her.

As noted by many, we have 6 very capable players of starter quality.  But there are only 5 starting slots.  My opinion is that Z will earn a starting slot if she sticks around for next season, replacing Gabby.

The reality is that players will miss time due to concussion, flu, sprained thumb, tweaked ankle, etc.  That will force/allow Geno to modify the starting lineup.  If the new lineup works very well, he MAY stick with it.

I honestly think that we’ll have 6 players at about 25-28 mph.  The numbers may be off a little, but I think the Big Six get comparable numbers of minutes.
