I like your post but might rephrase one statement. Katie Lou is not the next Stewart. She is the next Katie Lou. Will she become the next big piece to the UCONN puzzle? I think she will but I think it a bit unfair to her to say she's the next Stewart.
I like your "best argument" for her. And I also agree with other posters who say she needs to develop her inside game. Imagine her getting stronger, posting up her defenders, setting screens, getting points in the paint, developing a short jump hook like Stewie's, slashing to the rim and curling back to 3 point land to release that beautiful jumper. Katie Lou has a very quick release and a pure jump shot. All great shooters will go through occasional slumps and, generally, one of the best ways to get out of them is to get some easier baskets. It usually helps the player to get back into the flow of the game and the long range shot magically starts falling again.
Gabby's game does get more exposed when going up against a zone defense whereas a great shooter like Samuelson is a zone buster.
Ultimately, I'm not too concerned who gets the start but I agree with you that Katie Lou has to get as many minutes as possible. The same will be true for Collier and Butler. Like any great chess master, Geno is making his moves with a much larger picture in mind.
