Thoughts on the depth chart after watching the exhibition game:
Clark/Davis
Marshall/McCabe (or more Davis)?
Martin/Affolter or Wetering? (or more Stuelke?)
Warnock/Stuelke/Gyamfi
Czinano/O'Grady or Goodman?/Ediger
Bold indicates a lock as a rotation player (in my humble opinion).
The biggest questions are at the 3 and the 5 for me. At the 5 this is a "good" problem. O'Grady offers shot blocking and finnese but Goodman offers strength and physicality. I anticipate O'Grady being first off the bench for now, but if she is being too passive, Sharon comes in. Ediger is solid in her own right.
At the 3 I'm a bit more worried. This is where we will miss Tomi and Kylie. For someone coming off an ACL and prior to that a concussion, I was very impressed by Wetering's defense perimeter quickness and how well she played in the flow of the offense. But she has almost no live game experience in the last 2.5 years so I don't know what her ceiling and floor are. Affolter is strong and aggressive but a bit reckless and seems to try to do too much. Neither of them have a proven outside shot as far as I'm aware. If Stuelke is quick enough to guard on the perimeter, I'm curious what she could do at the 3, too.
At the 2, my only question is whether McCabe becomes a rotation player or if Davis backs up both the 1 and the 2. Whoever is better on defense will go a long way in answering that. As long as everyone stays healthy, this is a smaller question for me though.
Any thoughts?
