Agree, start with the most stable, predictable lineup...
partly as a mini honor and partly that's where you start experimenting from. Nelson, Wenzel and Baker. Everyone below has agreed Freelon is the fourth, and why not? speed, height, defense, a little muscle, senior experience...say it right now she'll start a lot of games the rest of the season.
See a few Mel picks and Petersen picks below which is fine, I go with Petersen b/c in addition to the two reasons, she's also the proven Swiss army knife in this lineup, maybe share rebound duties? I mean, everyone does a little of everything but she'll be leaning 3-4.

I don't think they start those 3 guards. I think one comes off the bench
