Redrafting the 2024 WNBA Draft!!

[@julianh.5372]

This isn't how you "redraft" at all lol. This isn't supposed to be about bias, it's supposed to be about understanding of knowledge you didn't have at the time. CC going #1 and AR #2 is the ONLY logical outcome given fit and destinations. What are we actually talking about here? 😂

[@MickTalksHoops]

In hindsight if you're LA you'd trade Hamby and draft Angel but why draft Angel to bench one of her or Hamby?

[@palidanek74]

if AR could do a layup then i'd agree with you but we dont live in that world so no #2 isn't easily AR

[@julianh.5372]

​@@MickTalksHoops I can play Hamby at 5 and Reese at 4. Then bet that one of my other guards will develop and figure it out. Sparks are super guard heavy atm, that's why they drafted Brink in the first place (albeit Brink is injured). Reese gives guards/the team extra possessions. I'm not looking at a ROTY race, I'm looking long term. I have a better chance of making a competitive team with Reese + Hamby and getting a better guard in the draft/developing my current players

[@cromwellcabalu6508]

Cardoso is still number 3 even though she's being used sparingly due to her previous injury. Angel Reese would still be at number 6. Cameron Brink is still number 2.

[@diIbert]

@@MickTalksHoops If im LA im still drafting Cam and Rickea. Im firing the coach. And playing Hamby and Cam 35 minutes a game as my frontcourt starters. For the backcourt im trusting Rickea and McDonald.

[@GOLDKW-bl4gp]

Mat Ishbia owner of the Mercury wants CC and players have actively recruited her. And they went out and gave Celeste Taylor a 7 day contract. Expect another 7 day contract or picking her up for the season. Wonder if Celeste is going to be a pipeline just to see if there is any interest. Mat Ishbia is getting first hand knowledge what is going on with Sides, Dunn and Clark. Looks like a lot of turmoil.

[@vincente4570]

Dude. The owner would have to make a hell of an offer that the Indiana owner couldn’t turn down sir

[@St.Maurice]

Please do a third draft at the end of the season😉

[@gen-xboomer9489]

Do a new draft every week. I like Mick, but i'd like to see more videos, he really doesn't have enough 😉

[@reelrecs9426]

I still think the Fever take Clark. You just don’t pass up on transcendent talent. Also, she still fits what the team needed more than Reese imo.

[@timothybuell3314]

So if they go this far, and Celeste Taylor is off the board, does Indiana take Kate Martin in the second round? That would give Caitlin a running mate that she is immediately familiar and comfortable with.

[@markway8208]

I agree, Kate would be ideal for, not only the Clark/Martin connection but also as personal support on and off the court because of their close friendship.

[@immovableobject6851]

@@vincente4570 I'm not putting Reese down to elevate Clark. Reese's DD is impressive, sure. How does her getting a DD help the team win? She had a 15 game streak. During that streak, the Sky went 5-10. If you ignore the record, Reese is not contributing to her team winning. She did have a monster game of 26/15 or something like that. Outside of that game, most of her games she doesn't get more than 12 points. Her play style doesn't really fit with the Sky. Cardoso is a 6'7 big. Carter in a slasher. Reese can only score on putbacks. The paint has too many players. Reese's stats are the equivalent of a 6th woman, not a dominant starter. Reese averages almost 5 offensive boards a game. That typically equals more points. Her rebounding is the best without question. When has a dominant rebounder ever been considered for anything other than dpoy? So yes, if you look at Reese's game, she is overrated. Remove Reese from the team, the Sky's record probably won't change. There is a 6'7 center on the team that could replace her. Reese is holding back Cardoso.

[@jexcel07]

R. Jackson lacks the motor that would make her the best out the class … talent yes she would own them all but doesn’t have that burning desire to be great … it was like that in college

[@saturnteatree]

Yeah you cant teach that…

[@michaelpinell1861]

Rickea should have transferred to Texas with Vic. Tennessee did something to her. It's like she played with more fire with him.

[@nakternal]

Rickea has the most natural talent and upside.Reese is available at 10. Clark still goes 1.

[@Nubiansage1]

The Sparks and the SKY , ended up with the best pairs of players , playing together. The Sparks need a Center, Hamby can play the 4, Rickea is a 3 she is ( 6'2") . The SKY needed a legitimate center, Elizabeth Williams is only 6'3". Angel is a 4 . So take is a perfect match for the Sky.

[@ericward1151]

You keep talking about point guards, but the W don't want point guards. They want Iso 2 and 3 players that can bring the ball up. Point guard isn't something they are interested in. They would rather have a skasher or shooter at the 1 while letting their bigs play slow ball in the paint

[@sanjosesharks98]

That’s why the WNBA SUCKS. Watching CC run an offense to NBA level makes the games fun to watch. That’s why her games get all the views

[@sanjosesharks98]

I disagree. Reese is absolutely number 2. Cardozo is really becoming scary but right now you have to go Reese 2 and then Jackson 3. Brink has been injured and will not return this season. No way you draft her high after an ACL when speed is a key.

[@christophersloss485]

Greatest rookie of all time??? CP3 won the MVP her rookie year. Lol Let that sink in.

[@jayburnham3994]

Why wouldnt the sparks just pick angel then at #2 and flip back around and grab jackson. With the rivalry alone vs caitlin the double doubl streak increased jersey sells, hiphip influence etc theyd skip over her for Jackson. Skip over a rookie all star.

[@MickTalksHoops]

Jackson isn't falling past 3 in any redraft and there's close to a 0% chance that Angel is in the ROTY conversations playing in LA. She'd be backing up Hamby playing 15 mins a game. No double double streak there

[@immovableobject6851]

@@jayburnham3994 you bring up a good point. The off the court value is important. I guess the question is whether the team cares more about profits or wins. If I was LA, I would have traded the 2 and 4 pick for the number one and the number one for next year.

Only reason CC still go first is Fever needed her. They didn't need a Big

[@michaelpinell1861]

Fever needed a wing and sttill needs a wing. That's the glaring hole. They took a player that they didn't need but had to pick. I'm sure Clark could care less if she were 1 or not. Jackie Young was drafted #1 in her draft class an in no way was she #1 material. Bill saw something in Jackie and year 2 it really paid off. The fans are stuck on #1. CC and Brink in LA would have lifted that team better than what Indiana has done. Wallace should be traded. Fever has Dantas who is taller and a 3 level scorer. Smith for her skillset doesn't fit next to Boston bc she's not a consistent threat from 3 or play Smith as the 3. Just get another coach because Indy got talent being wasted. They can legit run 9 deep at Indy and be much better than what they are.

Rickea Jackson at #2 is crazy, lmao. Everyone in the comments saying that Reese should have been #2, that's hilarious, too, but it's a lot more reasonable than Jackson. In reality, there's no re-draft where the Sparks are not taking Cameron Brink. She looks like a super model. True face of the franchise talent to go with the FACE of the franchise to go with it. It's just like with Clark, but to a much lesser degree - Brink has the highest marketability, easily. Then Reese goes #3. That's the obvious #1-3.
