The question is whether Geno or Staley would have had and kept Lepolo as his PG throughout the season, or would have accelerated the development of another team member as his PG during the season and had that woman installed as his starting PG by tournament time.

I think that's a valid observation. I've often wondered if the Cal Stars players were given some extra "consideration" by Tara. Cam is an obvious choice (and Haley too from prior years), but Jump and Lepolo never coming off the court and Demetre being first off the bench...just seems really coincidental given their lack of speed and creativity, and especially after Lepolo's injury. Maybe they were just the best at playing their roles and were the best defensive choices and that's what Tara wanted. Or maybe that extra friendship/chemistry was worth something on the court. I'm sure Tara had her reasons and it's tough to argue with a P12 championship.
