Not trying to use a sledgehammer to make a point but...

GUARANTEED starters - Kia, Gabby, Napheesa, Lou.  I'm not even sure why anyone would possibly consider debating that.  3 of them were AA's last year.  There is literally ZERO chance that Geno brings Gabby off the bench - senior, started every game last year, one of the captains of the team, incredibly hard worker, and DPOY.

There is also zero chance that Lou or Pheesa come off the bench.  Both 1st team AA's, started every game last year in addition to Gabby and Kia.  .00001% chance Kia comes off the bench.  Heart and soul of the team - leader, intensity, 100% effort 100% of the time.  Not an AA, but world class 3 point threat and no one is tougher.

That leaves Crystal or Azura.  I'm fine with either one, but as I said before, IMHO Crystal should start.  According to excellent sources, she has the inside track.  I doubt very much Geno is playing mind games.  Crystal is earning the starting spot at this time.  Maybe Azura will up her game even more and earn it ahead of Crystal at some future date.  Mind games has a negative connotation.  I think Geno is pretty upfront and honest about who's playing well enough to start and who is not.  Just my $.02...
