Lexie I presume will be playing professionally, somewhere. Brown and Harriel might be contributors--both somewhat unknown at this point. Emma-Nnopu and Van Gytenbeek could become big contributors--I think Emma-Nnopu has a big upside, and we just haven't seen enough of Van Gytenbeek to know. We will have Jump, who is already starting. But of all of the non-starters at the moment I think Bosgana might be most likely to get a lot of time. She might slide right into Lexie's slot. The coaches seem very high on her.
Brink, in regards to her jump shooting seemed to have regressed from last year, she does not seem confident at all in the few times she attempted a jump shot. That was one of the exciting things I was looking forward to, especially with her being close to the Curry family and there was an article mentioning how Dell Curry gave her some lessons on how to improve her shooting. I really hope she can regain that shot. It will make her that much more of an offensive threat and therefore make our team that much more versatile.
As 2006alum pointed out, with the addition of Betts and the probability she will get at least decent playing time, that would probably push Brink to the four, which will necessitate the need for her to regain that jump shot. If she does and Betts can make an instant impact, however that will allow Brink to avoid foul trouble as much with maybe Betts drawing some of those fouls instead.
I have to join in the dread of losing Wilson and the Hull twins next year. Even though we will be stacked at the 4 and 5, losing those three will give us major vulnerabilities in the backcourt. We really need our underclassmen to step up and Nivar might be our most critical freshman in some ways, even more than Betts. Given the type of players we have in each year right now, losing out on Citron and Miles in this year's class and Rice next season really hurts us in terms of team needs.
