2025 WNBA Off-Season

[DEpup]

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.

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.

Three things on this illuminating article (shared by Dillon77):

• WNBA owners, insiders on Cathy Engelbert, officiating, CBA - ESPN

First, the CBA negotiations is essentially about the NBA deciding what type of owner it is, and whether they are the same type of owner for the men and for the women (and not different from every other major U.S. sports league):

• "A lot of times that comes down to how people think about their business -- as an investment versus a true business on the day-to-day."
• Across various articles, such as this one (Front Office Sports), it is clear that the CBA talks is a referendum on the type of player compensation model that the NBA wants for women; the NBA currently doesn’t want the NBA model to apply to the WNBA;
• The NBA currently wants to recodify its pre-women’s basketball groundswell model from the 2020 CBA but with updated hard numbers (rather than the NBA’s soft salary cap system);
• By recodifying the 2020 CBA model, the NBA is deliberately ignoring its David Stern mid-to-late-80s history that showed the NBA’s soft salary cap system is viable, the conditions for which has been replicated by the WNBA entering the 2026 season;
• Switching to the NBA’s system does mean that the WNBA’s costs are borne by all owners (and not just by the WNBA teams in order to cry poverty in an opaque and vacuous way).

Second, on officiating:

• Whoever the league sources who essentially said (paraphrased) ”what problem?” and another who said (paraphrased) ”women are wuss compared to the men” (see also &1[5]) should be excluded from the new committee that will somehow “do better” than the Competition Committee;
• Sue and Ryan Rocco had constructive things to say &1 (and a direct answer &1[1] &1[2] to one team owner disparaging Napheesa);
• The WNBA, under Engelbert’s delegation to others, has repeatedly ignored NBA history vis a vis Michael Jordan and Detroit (see also &1[3]);
• The article does highlight some lack of non-personnel investment (central replay center requirements, etc.) which require investment by all (100%) not just the WNBA (42%) owners;
• But the article fails to account for the central problem &2: WNBA referees are paid by game and are always looking for an NBA salaried job; thus all the refereeing “fluff” in the article and in this lengthy one (featuring the two top WNBA refereeing officials) are just that, “fluff”.

Third, on Engelbert;

• The “ring of authenticity” players felt about Napheesa’s prepared remarks is shared by owners, due to Engelbert’s humble-brag (you should be thanking me) and derogatory way of communicating;
• Engelbert’s alleged bragging about the WNBA media rights deal was strange because it was an allocation from the NBA; but Engelbert might think it was made possible due to the costly $75M capital raise (in exchange for 16% ownership of the WNBA) specifically earmarked for marketing and branding;
• Engelbert was a former NCAA WCBB student athlete at Lehigh and was coached by Muffet McGraw before becoming coach at Notre Dame; so the lack of empathy is weirdly glaring.

&1 Sue’s podcast:

• [1] @2:33, @5:27: Ryan on Cri De Ceour women moments for effective change;
• [2] @3:55: Sue on Cri De Ceour women moments for effective change;
• [3] @7:53: Ryan “It will probably go a long way to help the conversation to just have some sort of public acknowledgement of ‘look, we’ve heard from so many of the biggest voices in our game express their feelings this year about the way game plays are unfolding, and we’re really going to give it a thorough review”;
• [4] @5:58: Ryan on Paige saying “I have to learn how to defend while fouling”;
• [5] @8:58: Sue: some of the refs for WCBB (less physicality) are the same for the WNBA, so it’s all about the mandate that is emphasized to the referees.

&2 Referees who swallow their whistles are not penalized. The rewards-punishment system does look like puny carrot, puny stick that’s probably also designed for bare minimum standards in a gig job where retention is a problem.

I disagree—I don’t think Fudd is the 2nd best prospect in the draft right now. Especially considering she hasn’t had a clean healthy season of basketball in 6 or 7 years.

Also, Klay and Steph work so well because they play different positions as did Cooper and Swoopes. McBride and Fudd are both shooting guards with the same height, build, and skill set. Neither is adept to being a PG in the pros and both are too small to play the 3. I think if McBride is back and planning to stick around for a few years, it make far more sense to take the likes of Fam, Miles or Betts if they’re available. I also think Flaujae is a better prospect than Fudd but don’t see her fitting in well on Minnesota compared to Azzi

I agree and have felt that way for awhile. A lot of players are either great scorers or shooters. Fudd is elite at both when she’s healthy. But it’s hard to imagine her sustained health in a longer WNBA schedule that’s also more compressed.

One other thing that brings me pause: we really haven’t seen Fudd as a playmaker. 1.6 career assists/game is pretty low for a starting guard in UConn’s system. The W’s elite guards (Sabrina, Paige, CC) are fully capable of playing both PG and SG. An area of opportunity.

 

[GoChips20]

FWIW I also have far more reservations about Betts than most. Not particularly athletic, not a rim runner, and no range. Great size and post moves but not the type of center that thrives in the modern W.

6’7” is hard to come by and she’s a worthy #1 pick for either Dallas or Minnesota’s team needs. But I’m not sold.

Agree. McCowan @ Dallas didn't work, as she wasn't a mobile rim to rim runner.

 

[bballnut90]

Agree with the concern but I think Betts is a better prospect than McCowan was. Much better offensive skills and a better passer. Big T also had some really good years in the pros but her downfall is that she hasn’t developed any range on her shot and hasn’t improved her game since she joined the league. Betts’ game and conditioning has improved tremendously at UCLA so I’d expect that work ethic to continue over. She’s closer to Aliyah Boston than Big T IMO.

Dallas has struck out with McCowan, Kalani Brown and Stephanie Soares (who were all rostered together at one point). I’m not sure another 6’6+ big is the smart thing to do.

Awa Fam and free agency (Ezi, Dorka, Aaliyah) should be the move for them.

Thought Dallas still has the rights to Kuweir (sic?) who has remained overseas the last couple seasons? Wonder if that's still an option?

Free agency may be the better option. The more I learn about Fam, the more I think she'll take a few years of development and is not a slam dunk immediate threat in the post.

I’m a lot higher on her than most other posters and people on social media. I think her ceiling is higher than Lauren Betts’s and adding a veteran post presence (like Nneka was to Malonga) could hasten her development.

I agree on all accounts, though I don't she will be as immediately successful as Malonga. She has some deficiencies on the defensive side of the ball that might make her a liability and limit her play time, but she seems ready to produce on offense.

 

[cancontent]

Was already a fan of Malonga, but dang, she's a tough cookie too. Dealing with this throughout the play-offs and still able to compete the way she did?

[MilfordHusky]

KMac will turn 34 next season. I think Minnesota would want a replacement in the next 2-3 years, though maybe not next year.

 

[GoChips20]

What do yall think of Olivia Miles as a prospect? I LOVE her game, and as a junior I thought she was at the top of the second tier of PGs below Paige/Caitlin. To me the question is whether the three-point shot is true (it still looks weird, but she hit 40% on volume) and possibly overall athleticism.

Not an MVP ceiling, but with the right draw, she could be trusted to run a team from day one if necessary. I think she would have gone #2 or #3 this year and is reliably a lottery pick next.

GC20, this is probably not going to go over well with a lot of folks, but I am not smitten on how Olivia Miles projects at the pro level. The college game will mask a lot of the shortcomings of a player's game, but the pro game will expose them all.

First of all, her man-to-man defense is weak. For her entire tenure at ND, Olivia never had to defend against the other team's best scorer, in large part due to Sonia Citron. Even so, she never exhibited the necessary quickness to keep in front of whomever she was defending. Swiping at the ball, trying to take charges, and trying to block shots from behind with her long arms after her opponent blows by her is OM's defensive MO when playing man-to-man. It looks like she studied defense at the School of Ogunbowale.

As harsh as this might sound, I also question her physical toughness. I think she purposefully shied away from contact both on offense and defense during her time at ND, which is/was a big contrast to past recent Irish guards (Jackie Young, Arike, all the Mabrys, Skylar, Kayla, Jewell). Granted she was out for a year battling injury, but I was surprised when she returned last year without spending more time in the gym building upper body strength. Hopefully she went to the gym a lot this summer and enters her final year a lot stronger.

Last but not least, her speed and stamina are concerns, IMHO. She has great court vision and an inherent feel for the game, but I don't recall ever seeing her go full speed transitioning up and down the court. Certainly not in her games against the Huskies.

Olivia is a beautiful, fun-to-watch college player. I think she will do very well at TCU this season - and I am certainly rooting for her to do so. I have serious reservations about what waits for her after graduation. Methinks she will benefit greatly from going overseas to work on the aspects of her game that were glossed over in college. That said, the good news is all of these areas can be improved before next year's draft. The bad news is the clock's ticking....

I am curious as to whether others - especially ND fans - had/have similar thoughts....

I think she’s the best PG prospect in a long time aside from CC/PB. She brings good size to the position at 5-10 and is a phenomenal passer with great court vision. Defense, shooting, etc can be developed but I think physical traits and court vision are comparably unteachable.

She’s a very good scorer from the PG position and has improved her 3pt shot considerably even if it looks a little funky. She’ll improve and should be a high lottery pick IMO.

I think people are sleeping too hard on both her and Flaujae Johnson. Flaujae’s game has Kahleah Copper 2.0 written all over it and she’ll be one of the best athletes in the league from day 1. She’s also an absolute workhorse who has improved immensely each year in Baton Rouge. Tremendous upside there.

I can agree with this. Her defense was really really bad. She has some off ball instincts where she can get some steals and blocks. But her on-ball is really poor.
It'll be interesting if that improves. I remember her first couple of seasons I thought she had potential to be good defender. She did come off an injury last year. But when you play next to Hannah it really contrasts her defensive effort level.

 

[cancontent]

This doesn't sound good. Not much specifics as to what Fenerbache believes to be their reason to make this claim. Just a guess that it could be related to Malonga's recent surgery(??).

As someone who has watched virtually every of Miles' collegiate games (as well as the aforementioned Ogunbowale, I've got a few thoughts on this;

- I think Miles is a good athlete. As a high schooler, she was probably good enough to play collegiate soccer, as were Ogunbowale (there's that name again) and Sonia Citron. As such, she has the stamina. In her early years (prior to the ACL), she and Citron rarely came out of the game. Now, as @Reypl21 brought up, she may have been affected by the ACL. First year back in action rarely sees an athlete back at 100%, so I'll be interested in how she looks at TCU.

Is she fast? Compared to whom? Hidalgo would win most 60-yard dashes against anyone and Citron would probably be a star 800 meter runner. Does she bolt down court like Hannah? No, but that's not what her forte is: her strength, as pointed out, is to run the fast break. Her weapons: court vision and passing ability.

Now, I've got a pet phrase called "burst speed." It's the ability to make two or three steps count to gain whatever separation is necessary.
Miles uses a burst of acceleration when approaching the elbow, then takes it to the rack with that one-handed, underhand layup.

- Tough enough? She's averaged 6.0 rebounds per game to go along with 6.5 assists per game and 14.2 points per game. She's a stellar defensive rebounder and works at it. When ND has lost centers or forwards, she practically rebounded like a forward.

- Her weakness? Yup, defense. I'm not so sure it's a physical issue of lateral quickness (remember the soccer background). I think it's a bit of lack of effort or concern for that element of the game. This was an issue with Ogunbowale her senior year (after winning the national championship) and Muffet McGraw would take her out of games for a spell to bring the point home. Ivey waited too long to get on Miles's case last year and when she did yank her from time to time, it was often at inopportune moments in crucial games. Never should've gotten to that.

Miles needs to work on that to round out her calling card in the W.

Outside of that, she's should make a fine point guard, particularly on teams that feature up and down the court play and read and react half-court offenses.

Dillon, I appreciate your response and your assessment. A lot of salient points for sure. I would agree that any review of her collegiate stats to date gives the impression that she is doing everything asked of her, and therefore, on face value, one would be hard pressed to find fault with her game.

However, my impression is based on what I have been observing, not on the stat ledger. I question her physical toughness because it seemed that in every game she would take pains to avoid contact. This was a stark contrast to what I had come to expect from Irish guards like Skyler Diggins, Kayla McBride, Marina Mabrey and even Arike when she wore the ND jersey.

Rebounds as a validation of toughness? Meh. I don't see her impressive rebound totals as an indication that she was "battling for the boards" (my term). Rather they were a reflection of her wonderful innate awareness of the game which, among other gifts she possesses, included having a Dennis Rodman-like understanding of where missed outside shots were going to go. This ability complimented her skill as a facilitator of the Irish's transition game. Said differently, rather than be on the receiving end of Irish fast breaks, her forte was to initiate and facilitate them, for which defensive rebounds gathered away from the paint were her bread and butter.

I would also argue that if one is going to point at rebounds as a measure of physical toughness, then one would expect to see offensive rebounds support or refute any contention. In Olivia's case, she averaged just 0.5 offensive rebound per game her entire ND career. One offensive board every two games - for a starter averaging over 32 minutes per game. Hmmmm. Contrast her 0.3 orpg with her 5'6" backcourt mate's 1.5 orpg last year and it suggests something other than a desire by Olivia to mix it up.

I agree on your assessment and characterization of "burst speed", and at the college level I would not disagree that Olivia possesses the ability to dial it up at times during the game. But using burst speed to go from slow to fast at the college level is not the same as accelerating from fast to extremely fast at the pro level.

That last sentence pretty much characterizes my overall assessment of Olivia Miles - a great college player who has some unbelievable court skills that should translate well at the next level. But she also has some eyebrow-raising weaknesses that I hope she works on during her stay in Fort Worth. If she doesn't, then I suspect her time on the court next summer will be very limited.

Maybe she used some of her NIL money this summer to hire some professional WBB trainers, and therefore her renaissance with the Horned Frogs will make my impressions moot. I wouldn't mind if Olivia proves me off-base.

Thanks again for your thoughts. Good insight regarding a wonderful player.

Contrast what Silver actually said to the headline:
"I think share isn't the right way to look at it because there's so much more revenue in the NBA," Silver said on the "Today Show." "I think you should look at absolute numbers in terms of what they are making. They are going to get a big increase in this cycle of collective bargaining and they deserve it."
