While none of us has seen a day of practice and with so many mysteries, especially with the freshmen, it's still fun to ponder possible starting lineups. Each possible lineup has its strengths and weaknesses.

If Ogden is as good as advertised, could we see: Lepolo (PG), Ogden (W), Jump (SG/W), Brink (PF), Iriafen (P)?  Ogden obviously has athleticism and can shoot- perhaps better than Haley (from distance).  The rest of her game?

If Elena has improved her ball-handling, shot selection and confidence, could we see her as our (SG) along with Jump, Lepolo, Brink & Iriafen. Elena would give us size and toughness and her length bodes well, defensively.

Harriel seems athletic, but prefers to pass the ball and has not shown much inclination to dribble drive and/or shoot.  If she has improved significantly, including her confidence, would Tara start her as (SG)?  That could certainly give us a safety valve on the perimeter and a threat to score.

If Tara wants to go big, could we see: Lepolo (PG), Jump (SG/W), Demetre (SF), Brink (PF) and Iriafen (P)?  One drawback, we would have no one (except Agara) to replace Brink if she gets in foul trouble or needs a break.  That's asking a lot for a 6'2 freshman.

What do you think?  Are there other starting lineup possibilities?

The way I see it, it's primarily a triumvirate at the PF/C and the SF/SG 
combo positions:

PF/C - BRINK, IRIAFEN, DEMETRE  (with AGARA as 4th option)
(1) BRINK/IRIAFEN (40%)
or
(2) BRINK/DEMETRE (30%)
or
(3) IRIAFEN/DEMETRE (10% to 20%)
or
(4) BRINK or IRIAFEN or DEMETRE / AGARA (10% to 20%)

SF/SG - JUMP, BOSGANA, OGDEN  (with CLARDY or PAPADAKI as 4th option)
(1) JUMP/BOSGANA (40%)
or
(2) JUMP/OGDEN (30%)
or
(3) BOSGANA/OGDEN (10% to 20%)
or
(4) JUMP or BOSGANA or OGDEN / CLARDY or PAPADAKI (10% to 20%)

PG - LEPOLO (30+ mpg)  (with HARRIEL or GREEN as back-up)
(1) LEPOLO (80%)
or
(2) HARRIEL or GREEN (20%)

Unfortunately, this template does not take into account
a very likely scenario wherein
BRINK, IRIAFEN and DEMETRE are on the court
at the same time (with DEMETRE at SF)
This could happen as much as 10 to 15 mins/game
