There are 2 things going on here, and one of those is a sense of loyalty to a popular and productive player.  I'm speaking of KK. It's not for me to say how much support for KK is sentiment and how much is performance. Some of you cannot bear the idea that your favored girl may not start. But the best reason to start a game with Kayleigh is the power of bringing KK off the bench. That's what Geno did last year with both KK and Shade. They were an explosive change of pace when the regulars sagged (for whatever reason). The duo was electric, instant energizer bunnies. We'll need that again.
The second point is what Kayleigh represents, and why the team wanted her so much. She is a game manager, as Chen was last year. She will execute the game plan, she will be a steady hand, she will limit turnovers and settle her charges. The team does not need for her to score. In short, KK is a game changer, while K9 is a game manager. KK flies, K9 settles.
My argument for starting Hekel is that it's BETTER for KK to come off the bench than to start. What's best for the team will decide.
