Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 5082499, member: 2117"] Pretty solid list, Dallas technically has best odds for Paige so they should be listed at #1 IMO. Other thoughts: Chicago-I don't love Morrow as the pick for #3 unless she improves wing skills, specifically passing and 3pt shooting. They don't need anymore help rebounding with Angel/Cardoso in the frontcourt. I'd go with Miles here who is an elite playmaker and passer, something Chicago lacked this year. Fudd would be a major gamble of a lottery pick. People are basing her draft stock on HS hype and an impressive 6-7 game stretch from 2 years ago. Not counting her out, but at this juncture I wouldn't pick her top 6-7. The players listed 6-8 have huge upside due to size or athleticism: Dominique Malonga is only 18 and won a silver medal with France. She's 6-6, extremely athletic and fluid. She could be another Ezi Magbegor type of player but taller. I don't see her dropping to 7th and could see her going as high as 4th. [MEDIA=youtube]__RFnEPVX5E[/MEDIA] Sellers is a big point guard and a solid playmaker. Brenda's players usually thrive in the pros and Sellers has the tools to be a really good one despite being a little under the radar due to Maryland struggling last year. She'd be a good pick for Washington (4/6) or Golden State (5). Janiah Barker hasn't lived up to the hype yet but she is unbelievably talented. The way she handles and moves on the court reminds me Candace Parker. Indy could be a great landing spot for her to develop. Harmon is likely coming back for a 5th year so I don't expect her to declare for 2025. Citron/Pao Pao/Amoore are good value as late first rounders. Raven Johnson too is likely a top 10 pick if she declares. From the current junior class, Lauren Betts, Ashlyn Watkins, and Flaujae Johnson are all draft eligible. All have lottery pick potential (maybe not Watkins due to the offcourt issues), but any of the 3 entering would shake up the draft. Flaujae in LA at #2 would be a great fit IMO. All in all, it's not as front loaded as last year but I could see this class panning out with a number of really good players in the long run. A lot of the most talented players that aren't getting a ton of publicity early, but they could thrive if given the chance to develop. [/QUOTE]
