Del Rosario goes 6'5" but looks to need some work. Bartlett is 6'3". Smith & Alisa Williams are 6'2".

Yep, this is where I have my concerns. Samyah Smith would be first off the bench, and while she is competent & has had key putbacks, rebounds & blocks in some wins, she hasn't shown she's elite in any category (yet) to offset her lack of height vs taller players, especially if she is needed for extended minutes or multiple starts. Bartlett & A. Williams remain unknowns but still shorter than ideal. Del Rosario has the ideal frame/mass but truthfully may need a redshirt year, unless Mulkey can work a quick miracle.

I ideally would like to add a competent 6-4+ F/C for depth, if even available. If we don't, I'll just have to accept our overall front court height as this superteam's achilles and pray for sustained health & no habitual foul trouble. Hopefully, the unguardable offensive mismatches a healthy Fab Five presents taller, slower defenses makes our concerns irrelevant & the ppg margin in wins astronomical.
