Some players are good ball handlers for their position, and some players are good ball handlers, period.  As Eric notes, Charde could break the press.  That was because the opposing power forward couldn't pick her up full court.  The same was true last year with Gabby and Lou--the opponent's center and wing ,respectively, couldn't cover them full court.  Candace Parker is a good ball handler for her size, but I've seen quick point guards steal the ball from her, partly because her dribble is high.

I agree with other posters that we can break a press by passing over it, especially with Lou and Azura.  However, I feel more comfortable against a press with Crystal as the primary ball handler, rather than Kia.  I also like Crystal in the half court.  Her pick and rolls with Natalie were very effective last year, once she realized that she needed to pass the ball high.

I see that we have 6 starters and 5 slots.  All 6 will play about the same number of minutes.  Who starts doesn't make all that much difference.
