I believe that Williams will be our main point guard, whether starting or not, for most of the season.  Sniezek lost most of her minutes last year to Roberson, and she is already losing most of her minutes lately to Williams.  Williams is almost too offensive but she does make defenses respect her.

Dodson will develop into a go-to post.  I'm not sure if this will happen this season or not, though--she has better physical skills than any other post we have other than possibly Smith, but her progress may be slower than we impatient fans would like to see.  It seems that posts take longer to develop--Smith and both Ogwumikes, not to mention McCall, did not really show their full talent until their sophomore or even junior years.  So Coffee now has my attention and intrigues me.  She is clearly a better offensive threat than Johnson, but her poor rebounding compared with Johnson will probably keep her out.

I am thinking of this lineup as possibly our best for start of Pac12.  Can Carrington defend a smaller shooting guard?
1 Williams
2 Carrington
3 McPhee
4 Smith
5 Dodson/Johnson
