Emily Bessoir played the wing for her German club team and German Junior National team before entering UCLA.  Similarly Lina Sontag played guard before joining UCLA.  Bessoir and Sontag played for German Senior Women’s team at the FIBA 2023 Women’s EuroBasket Championship in June.  Bessoir played at wing and Sontag played shooting guard.

Bessoir had to play the 4 and sometimes 5 because UCLA lacked height on the roster.  The additions of Lauren Betts, Amanda Muse and the return of Angela Dugalic and Izzy Anstey from injury give the Bruins depth in the post and allow Bessoir and Sontag to play at their normal wing position.

Thanks for the info on BESSOIR and SONTAG
with the German Senior National Team.

That's good to know. 

6'4 BESSOIR as a natural SF makes sense to me
given her propensity to shoot the 3, 
but 6'3 SONTAG and quite bulky at that
as a natural SG is really a surprise to me.

Well, so that settles it quite nicely for UCLA then:
SF - JACQUEZ 6'0
SF - BESSOIR 6'4

PF - IWUALA 6'2
PF - DUGALIC 6'4

PF/C - ANSTLEY 6'4
C - MUSE 6'4
C - BETTS 6'4

SG - SONTAG 6'3
SG - BROWN 5'11
SG - JONES 5'4

PG - OSBORNE 5'9
PG - RICE 5'11
