As for the fifth starter, Brooke will probably be forced into our trontcourt rotation due to the lack of other alternatives, which means Elena is likely our fifth starter. I’m guessing we will also use Brooke on the perimeter, but we are so thin up front that we need her to flex big every game. We haven’t discussed it here yet, but I believe Kiki has been experiencing more foul trouble even than Cam did as a frosh, so even in just a relief role, Brooke could easily log 25 minutes per game if we only have three bigs. Assuming Cam gets 30 minutes, Kiki and Brooke could end up splitting 50 minutes roughly equally on the interior.
OTOH, Elena has the potential to be more of a do everything type of player, slashing to the basket, draining threes, rebounding, being disruptive on defense, etc. Let’s hope more time on the court translates into more confidence, as she clearly has the tools.
