2025 WNBA Off-Season

McBride and Fudd are strikingly similar players now that I think about it. I know Reeve loves her UCONN players but I'm not sure if it's the right fit with KMac there. KMac plays 30+ minutes per game, I think it'd be a waste of a pick to have Fudd basically back up McBride when KMac still has several good years left and they bring similar skills to the table. I'd probably opt for Fam if she's available since she has major upside.

Good comments but if Fudd is available at the #2 spot, I would hope that Coach Reeve picks Fudd. Why wouldn't Fudd be a good fit here in Minnesota? Even with KMac on the roster, adding Fudd would be a great fit. Two snipers, possibly starting together, that would be deadly. Nobody thought that Klay Thompson and Steph Curry would work and we saw how that turned out. All it takes is a coach with a vision and one that is not scared to go outside the box once in a while. Heck. When the Comets added Sheryl Swoopes, folks were thinking that it was a wasted pick and it would not work. Well history showed that it did work and nobody expected Cynthia Cooper to be that good and the same with Tina Thompson. So, if Azzi is there at the #2 spot, we gotta scoop her up.

Personally, I find it interesting that Toronto let this information get out there in the first place. It also gives the fanbase an idea as to what the organization is looking for in a coach.

I think that it is good that they are letting this information out. Like you said, it gives the fanbase a peek into what the franchise is looking for in a coach and if the franchise goes in a different direction, fans can look back and say "you wanted this in a coach, but you went another way. Why?"

I agree with you. Fudd in the back court opens up options and can keep KMac fresh for the playoffs. Folks keep talking about the front court issues but I don't buy it. Kliundikova improved a lot and will be better next year. They can bring Juhaz back and that would give them 5 good front court players.

I thought the wing was the real issue this year. BC was often points challenged, Courtney is too small, and KMac was left to do everything. Carrington made the difference IMO but then got hurt and they were back to the same problem.

That then tells me that if Azzi is on the board, you take her and sure up the wing.
