I think we've upgraded the position to the point that Lepolo won't be starting for much longer, if at all  To me she seems like Martha 2.0, great ball skills, but hesitant to shoot and defenders can sag off since she's not a hu-ge threat to score from beyond the arc.

Very apt comparison. I think she's better than Marta at ball handling and against pressure defense, and is also a better, and (slightly) less reluctant shooter, especially from outside. But Marta's passing was much better and I feel like she was also quicker up the floor. Either way, Ki > Marta, and Hailee > Lepolo.

Wouldn’t underestimate the defensive abilities either.  Lepolo is 5’7”.  She is strong for a guard but can certainly be beat with quickness or just shot over.  Swain is an elite defender with the quickness to stay in front of super fast guards and the 5’11” length to bother shots.
