The first game is only a few days away! Hope everyone on team stays safe and healthy. What are everyone's predictions on a starting lineup? Here's my guess:
PG - Williams
SG - Lexie
SF - Jones
PF - Belibi
C - Prechtel
I think the first three are givens since they were consistent starters last year. I do hope that Belibi is given the chance to start and have significant playing time on the court. She only played 13.9 minutes per game last year. And she really needs time on the court to show what she can do. Belibi isn't going to be the focal point of the offense so she needs court time to contribute in other ways like with steals, running the floor in transition and with offensive rebounds. I also like this lineup because it's probably our best scoring lineup and our problem the last couple of years has been generating offense. I hope the coaches move in this lineup direction vs letting the seniors start as we have historically had a problem where we start the game slowly and spot the other team a 10-12 point lead because we have a senior-led defensive team on the floor and Williams/Lexie have to attempt a lot of difficult late shot clock shots.
