[@DarrellFarr-f8x]

I am going to disagree with you on the Chicago Sky's pick's...once again. The Sky need a PG... desperately. The Sky need a PG NOW.. not later. If Olivia Miles is still available when the Sky's pick comes up, & they don't select her, Sky fans will be calling for the GM's head on a platter! The Sky need a facilitator & fast break type PG, like Olivia, not a Guard who runs off picks & jacks up shots, like Amoore. Yes, the Sky need a floor-general, and Amoore is nowhere near as good a floor-general as Olivia Miles is. The Sky need a PG FIRST. They can get 3pt shooters later in the draft.

[@TheDemonnat]

I agree you cannot pass up on miles. Get 3pt shooters with the 2nd, and 3rd pick. She could be one of the best passers in the league. Amoore is a bad pick for the sky.

[@DJ_Mr_Rodge]

you can get a PG later in the draft...and the sky doesn't need a Star PG like olivia miles when they need to make sure chenn has the ball....also chenn has been playing overseas with kamilla and will be on the brasil team with milla in the future....so the chemistry between chenn and the bigs of reese and milla will be there and those two will get their adequate touches...plus te-hina paopao and raven johnson can fill the pg void and also provide scoring....

[@TheReddee1987]

The Sky need 3PT SHOOTING more than a PG. Getting a PG who can’t shoot doesn’t alleviate any of the problems they had all season with 3 of their core players being non-shooters.

[@alexsamain812]

Id be happy w these picks as a sky fan. Amoore is tiny but she is crafty and can shoot

[@TheDemonnat]

@@TheReddee1987 what miles does is exceptional. Shooting you can find later in the draft or in free agency. Can't you stagger miles or the other non-shooters minutes? I just think that amoore pick is the bad. A backcourt of Allen 5'8 carter 5'9 5'6 mo jefferson and 5'6 amoore is a nightmare. I think Evans is gone. I can't see the sky keeping her when she demanded a trade last season. 3pt shooting is a problem, but also guards who cannot pass is one of our biggest issues.

[@AntwoineBaker]

Chicago is getting Olivia Miles. She was spotted at a Chicago sky game. I think they're recruiting her

That will be a big mistake. If you Chicago you can’t afford to bring in another non-shooter.

PG is hardest role to have in WNBA, nobody wanna play for chicago, they need to take a risk and draft a PG, sure her defense wont be amazing, but chicago has no other option unless they wanna trade a star player like cardoso (since reese is a no go i guess )to get averag/eabove average pg, no vet wanna go into such a bad org with unstable front office.

@@olonbeige Chicago is her hometown so she probably wants to go there but I don't think Chicago take her though because she doesn't provide anything they're really missing right now. They're definitely looking for a PG and big wing/sf who can shoot with their first round picks. With the second round they probably look for a good defender/shooter. The Sky can also bring back their injured second round pick from last year , Brynna Maxwell who was one of the best 3pt shooters in NCAA WBB.

And they won’t win now with FOUR non-shooters in the starting lineup. They’ll literally be the same team they were this past season. The biggest weakness for Chicago was lack of floor spacing and 3pt shooting. Miles doesn’t help either.

[@markyg236]

Bold prediction, Fever trade Smith and any other player(s) outside the core four, this years #2 and next years #1 for Sabally and a swap of this years #1's. I take Malanga because she has rare combo of size and athleticism, Fever take Sivka or Citron for 'win now'. Some details contingent upon Dallas draft position and who is available when they pick.

[@wbbfan7821]

Some names I didn’t see (may have overlooked): Rayah Marshall, USC Emily Ryan, Iowa State Serena Sundell, Kansas State Aubrey Griffin, UConn Alexis Markowski, Nebraska Hailey Van Lith, TCU Zaay Green, Alabama Sarah Ashlee Barker, Alabama Ajae Petty, Kentucky Aaronette Vonleh, Baylor Kaitlyn Chen, UConn Skylar Vann, Oklahoma Diamond Johnson, Norfolk State DeYona Gaston, Auburn Makira Cook, Virginia Aicha Coulibaly, Texas A&M Sedona Prince, TCU Deja Kelly, Oregon

[@_M....]

If Flau'Jae comes out where would you see her going? I know she is not planning to enter the draft, but she is eligible.

[@danial_amini]

Depends on her season

[@TheReddee1987]

Currently she’d likely be a late first round pick based on her overall improvement from freshman to sophomore year. She has decent size and her ability to create her own shot, play more consistent defense and increased inefficiency bodes well for her. Her next maturation is being a consistent playmaker as a SG.

[@ricorogers9319]

shes not coming out

[@RonquixoteDIII]

Are you gonna have a livestream for the draft?

[@HunterCruse14]

I might if that’s something yall want!

[@PredatorKingdom]

Those Sky picks look interesting as Sivka is someone I can see them taking because their GM wants a wing and they'll take Georgia Amoore as their PG of the future. I think the Fever will take a different for the guard position as the girl you got is too high. Fever should take Lucy Olsen or Maddy Westbeld if they can't get Citron. I love the international player Annika Soltau as a Temi replacement.

[@lionheartgaming6412]

Sivka and Amoore isn’t bad but if I was Chicago, I would move on from Carter and trade down in the draft in order grab up Citron and Paopao. They need to have a proper rebuild where they load up on draft assets, prioritize youth and development, and set up a proper foundation for future success. Also I’m just out on super short PGs going forward in the WNBA landscape.

[@djthegoat4819]

Malonga isn’t falling that far imo. She doesn’t make it past the fever.

[@ElijahLee-yt6sn]

i really like the raven johnson pick to vegas, not because it’s vegas but she legit could fill those shoes as a high/level leader for a contending team, esp playing alongside them next year, she’s a worker so she’ll be alright in the W

[@patricklarson7564]

I know she's injured right now, but having Maddy Westbeld nearing round 3 selection is pretty wild to me I'd spend an early second round/late first round on her easy. You could make an argument that she could end up being the second best PF prospect on the board behind Kiki Iriafen if Barker doesn't come out this year. She actually reminds me quite a bit of Emma Meessemann in terms of play style, and Emma doesn't have insane athleticism either.

[@TheReddee1987]

Maddy isn’t a first round pick. Maddy & Emma are nothing alike, Emma has always been an all around post player who can hit the 3, initiate the offense and is an elite passing post player from anywhere on the floor and in any system. Maddy is not that. Lastly, her injury makes her a 3rd Rounder at best and that’s because it’s not a new injury but a lingering one and for a post player who already isn’t very athletic that’s a big red flag. Healthy she’s no higher than a 2nd Round pick.

[@amirmazza9064]

My ideal Top 3 choices for Indiana would be Citron, Paopao and Sivka. Even though Saniya is a very good defender, I have a strong belief the wing needs to be capable of shooting the 3. I just can’t see archetype players like Gabby Williams or Jordan Houston being a starting wing for a championship winning team. I can easily envision those top 3 choices having a big rotation role in a championship winning team for the next few years.

My question is why would Seattle take the most injury prone guard? Because Azzi has YET to have healthy season in like the past 5 or 6 season starting back in high school. Plus since the Big East is not that tough of a confrence Im waiting to see if she can compete with the best of the best. Based on her injury history Sea would only have her 1/4 of the season before another injury if I was Seattle and PaoPao was off the board I would go after Kneepkens or Nye, heck maybe even Bree Hall as a last resort because I am not to high on Azzi's abilities to be healthy

[@TheReddee1987]

Seattle was the worst 3pt shooting team in the W. Nye isn’t a first round pick as she’s extremely one dimensional, Kneepkens is coming off an injury so her season will determine her spot, just like Fudd. Paopao would be a good choice but a 3pt shooter with size would be more valuable in the W. If Fudd can come back and stay healthy all year she’s the clear choice. Plus, she won’t be tasked with being a starter from Day one on that Seattle team

[@donovan7102]

@@TheReddee1987 I know Seattle was the worst 3 pt shooting team but Azzi is not a first rounder or a solid pick for that team. You say it like she had 1 small injury it has been ACL and MCL tears yearly. Whereas Kneepkens is coming off of only 1 injury vs Azzi who has had an injury EVERY YEAR since her sophomore year in high school. Also Nye is coming in to be a 6'0 shooting wing. 63% of her shots came from 3 and she shoots almost 41% from 3 on her career I'll take those kind of numbers from a healthy player even if you feel she is "one dimensional"

I agree 100%, it's just a "Uconn" thing with all these highly overrated players.

[@Randomrazer]

I’d personally take Janiah Barker if I were choosing for Chicago and assuming Miles hasn’t fixed her 3pt shot this year. She can play on the wing and provide better size ,defense,and shooting at the small forward position. I’d probably take Amoore with the number 10 pick for PG then assuming Paopao is off the board. Finally , with the second round pick I’d take the chance on Lucy Olsen since I think James might go a little higher than that pick.

Emily Ryan and Aziaha James are the True Sleeper picks in this Draft and both are First Round potential type players. If the Chicago Sky could get both after the First Round, that would be an absolute Steal for them. But the Sky's GM ain't too bright these days.

[@Ohmeezzy]

Maddy Westbeld> Shyanne Sellers for ATL. All the bigs on our team are nothing long term to take seriously and they’re hurting our ability to create some sort of modern offense. I believe Maddy is the better talent. Move some of the pieces that we may have left after the expansion draft to get more shots at the next 2 drafts. Also one or two of these players is going to take their extra year. Try to get as many shots at 26 and 27 as possible. We can get some better depth/more talent there. 😢Unfortunately that may mean that we won’t be able to capitalize on the Rhyne Howard/Allisha Gray era.

[@olonbeige]

Are we disregarding Hailey Van Lith?

[@donmurphy1685]

I was surprised not to see her even in the second round there, but the reality is Van Lith projects as a reserve at the WNBA level, nothing more. She has some skills, but she is not going to be the WNBA star some envisioned a few years ago. A stellar season back at shooting guard for TCU this year won't change that reality in the end even if it inflates some people's perception of her.

[@olonbeige]

@@donmurphy1685 unfortunately I agree. I hope she has a good season though

Still manifesting Sonia to Indiana. Saniya is cool but she ain't Bruce Bowen or Raja Bell on D like that so I'm hoping Indy pass on her

[@TheReddee1987]

Either player would be good fits on Indiana. However, Saniya is a far better defender than you’re trying to give her credit for plus she fills two spots, an athletic defender with size and a secondary ball handler/facilitator and she still has a high ceiling with last year being her first year as a full time starter.

[@seanstroman6087]

@@TheReddee1987 Soni & Saniya are both around the same height and play D only difference is Soni a better shooter and with the way CC pushes pace she feels more like the ideal fit and she's also played with CC before for team USA.

[@patricklarson7564]

I like Sonia better overall, but to play devil's advocate for a second - Sonia is also not nearly as athletic as Saniya is. Also they are different types of defenders, Citron is much more of a team-oriented rotational defender who struggles to get over screens just like CC and will struggle with athletic guards/wings. Saniya Rivers is the kind of defender who makes the person she's guarding uncomfortable and a threat for getting a steal every possession, also much better navigating screens. I would be happy with either at pick 8 to be honest.

Not a bad comp. I’d say Allen is better defensively & Sivka is more advanced offensively

[@rinat3964]

If sky can get Sivka and amoore it would be a steal!!. Ik ppl saying miles is too good to pass up but she has injuries plus her shooting is an issue. Georgias assists per game went up from 4.6 to 6.8 from the 2022-23 to 23-24 season however her playmaking will depend on how she does at Kentucky this year . Amoore is short and the defense is an issue but if they have sivka they’ll have length on the outside especially if she’s a leonine fibech type player who can make spot up threes. They absolutely need more shooters especially from the outside. I’m not too worried about the pg role as basically every team in the w needs a real pg. Dallas,sparks, Washington, lynx, liberty… The sky if they had too chose a pg they would likely try and find a vet pg as point guards typically have the hardest time adjusting to the W

Not having Dominique Malonga in the top 2 is crazy. Especially passing up over her for outdated small guards or forwards with no upside. Dominique Malonga should be the 1 pick in this draft and I don’t see why it’s any debate. She’s a 6’6 defensive menace with offensive upside.
