Coach Paye might agree somewhat too, as Lepolo playing time is not a lot, is 8th on team.

So, why is she starting?  Harriel is playing excellent D and is a weapon on offense.  Clardy is quicker than Lepolo and is also a weapon on offense.  I respect KP and I assume she is starting Lepolo for team unity and cohesion.  I think that as the season progresses, Lepolo will be dropped from the starting lineup.  Unless, that is, that her play improves significantly.

I seem to recall several stretches over the past few seasons where someone was a "nominal" starter to open the game and then subbed out after only a few minutes once TVD saw the flow of what was happening.  I think Bosgana was in that boat for a while.
