Having seen all four of them in person (Canada & Billings twice), I concur. [B] You said[/B]: "[I]the worst pick for them would be Kelsey Mitchell. She would give them way too many small guards. But some team will like her[/I]". Had they not been sold, their old GM may have drafted her. They wasted their #1 pick last year on Plum, who they clearly did not need. [B]You also said[/B]: "[I]Does anyone know how Diamond is doing this fall? She is the high risk candidate in the draft. She's as athletic as anyone, but she's not a proven winner or a smart, disciplined ball player". [/I]Maybe it's me, but right now, I don't see DeShields being a "good fit" [U]for any team[/U]. She was a "ME" player instead of a "We" player. Unless she has made some adjustments to her personal outlook and her over all attitude since she's left college, I can't see her fitting in with any WNBA team. I hope she has. Her act did not go over well in college. She [I]was not[/I] perceived by many as a "team player". No doubt there is a WNBA coach that figures he/she can work with her and turn her attitude and outlook around. I would like to see Diamond in the W. I'm sure one of the coaches in the league can help her transition into becoming a productive professional athlete. [/QUOTE]
