I don't think Fingall will be our go-to 5 next year.  Yeah, she got the potential for better offense, but despite all the playing time this year, she's still relatively clumsy and gets beat often.  I'm sure she'll get a lot of time against the weaker opponents to continue trying to get her to gain experience.  I think Johnson's more likely to be more reliable for rebounding and defense, with a possibility of developing more offense, and with more basketball smarts.

In my opinion, Marta has the capability of developing her offense.  She was the surprise to South Carolina, helping to give us a good lead in the first half, but then disappeared in the second (I'm sure an adjustment in defense contributed to that).  If she doesn't, she may again find herself not being used as a starter, being passed over for someone who has a better chance of contributing to an initial first few minutes of offense.

Alanna made good strides this year but is still a little rough around the edges.  She's still a little slow on defense, which I think is the cause of her fouls (which have decreased significantly).

Consistency or not, Briittany will be a core player for us.  She opens up the defense and just gives the other team fits.

We will be hurting if we don't have another 3-point shooter.  Brittany's skills will be wasted if she takes too many 3pt shots.  But we need someone to spread the defense.  (Can Stanford hire Karlie's dad to run a mini-camp?)
