Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 5319551, member: 2117"] I think it's Reeve in a runaway (though it irks me she left Collier in a game up 43 when she got injured). Looking at their roster, they really have no business being as good as they are. The only top 5 draft pick on their roster is Kayla McBride and most of their rotation players were second round draft picks or players who were out of the league completely (Jessica Shepard, Natisha Heideman, Alanna Smith, Bridget Carleton). Courtney Williams was a very good player when they picked her up last season, but her game has gone to new heights under Reeve. And Collier has improved every year and developed into one of the best players in the world under Reeve. No one has done a better job of developing talent and putting a really good product on the floor like Reeve has. Compare the talent level of the Lynx to the other top teams in the league: Liberty: Sabrina/Stewart were former #1 picks, picked up a former MVP (Jonquel Jones) in free agency last year, picked up Cloud who was an established championship level PG this year. They're effectively a super team. Dream: Two #1 draft picks (Howard/Griner), 3 other former top 5 draft picks Mercury: Sabally/Thomas/Copper were bonafide stars in the league when they signed in Phoenix. Also landed Bonner who is a consistent seasoned vet and former #5 draft pick. [/QUOTE]
