I probably agree with both of you to a certain extent. If Old Dude's lineup starts the season we probably are a better team, because that means two significant things.

First it means one of the first year players, in this case Jana was able to show enough to land the starting 5 position. That means she is pretty good, because the bar is actually very high when you consider that Aaliyah at the 5 and Aubrey at the 4 was also a possibility.

Second it would mean that KK was also special enough to unseat a proven returning starter senior, among the nation's leaders in assists, BE defensive player of the year for the second time, and on a list of five finalists for the best PG in the nation. Once again a very high bar.

Having said that, like tchalla1, I don't think both of those things are likely to happen. I do think it is likely that somebody secures the starting C spot other than Aaliyah, be it Jana, Ice, or a portal transfer to be named later. Of course if Old Dude is right that might mean a second unit that could press and fast break led by Nika and Aubrey.
