MoJef is going to be starting. She was a great PG in HS and had a stellar USA run this summer. Last year was a struggle for her as it is with most PGs transitioning from HS to college but she finally learned how to use her speed and be in control and she had a very nice run in the postseason. This team does not need her to score much - heck, they are going to have a hard enough time finding enough shots for KML, Dolson, Stewart, and Hartley. She is needed to set the pace and distribute as needed and that was what she learned last year and through the summer. I do expect both her outside shooting and her drives to the basket to improve as she has gained the confidence of when to do those things. And her defense is solid and will improve - she may get posted by some larger guards, but she has great leaping ability and timing and will get some help if that happens.
The other starters - Stef, Stewart, KML, and Hartley
I think we will see Stef's minutes managed early to make sure she does not have any recurrence of her foot problems - she is healthy now, but bigs put added pressure on their feet and ankles, and both issues she had sometimes can become chronic. So I expect Kiah to get a long look to see if her summer confidence can be carried over into games. I think Morgan, Kiah, and BB will alternate being first off the bench depending on circumstances in the game, and Chong will get worked in slowly.
