During the span of our “down years,” we first were playing a supremely talented Collier out of position, so that we were vulnerable to teams with elite bigs.  After that came the covid and injury plagued seasons, with the injuries occurring throughout the season, ever changing the roster and chemistry.  I suspect those years contributed to why we have a full roster now, when previously Auriemma preferred a smaller roster where greater repetitions and chemistry could be developed.

My point in relation to the OP is that we can never know how the parts relate or might change during the season.  The chemistry might be great, I believe it will be, even though increased roster sizes never contributes to greater chemistry.  On the other hand, our tremendous depth means that Player A may average 12 ppg for 15 games before injury, while Player B then averages 14 ppg for 20 games, making the cumulative add up to a misleadingly large number.
