This seems most reasonable for a rotation player.

Me, too... or more precisely against Victaria Saxton. One key element of Boston's game is having Saxton play next to her, someone stronger than most 4s. Not so in this matchup, though.

I'm curious about this one. Will Barker start? She looks promising.

This is possible, though my guess is it will be undeserved if it happens. In the FIBA games, Betts was lumbering and slow, and mainly scored merely by being taller. When I compare her to Cardoso, I'm disappointed in what I see in Betts. Cardoso runs the floor well and has good around-the-rim skills. I was glad to see that Betts was more active in Stanford's exhibition game. But I can't see her starting, and is probably too slow to impress Tara, and unlikely to come off the bench before Prechdel.

Is Rice going to start at UCLA? I assume Osborne will be the starting pg. But Since Penn left, Rice could start at the 2, I suppose, if she beats out Jones. I like Rice's game, reminds me of Olivia Miles.
