Latson and Raven Johnson were high school teammates. They won State 3 years in a row and were National Champions their Sr year.

Paige is playing her way out of the conversation... still plenty of time to turn it around, but at this point, she's not among the best players.

Hannah, Juju, and Betts.

Napheesa Collier's entire 2019 is still a head scratcher. How on EARTH did Gustafson win POY over her and how on EARTHHHHH was she the #6 pick in the WNBA draft?

Gustafson averaged 28 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks on 70% FG, she deserved NPOY. She also took an unheralded Iowa team to an Elite 8 finish and Big Ten Championship. Collier was and is a better overall player but Meg deserved it.

How she fell to #6 in the draft still is puzzling. KLS had an up and down senior year where holes in her game were exposed, yet she still was picked ahead of Arike/Collier, both of whom have become franchise players and bonafide stars.

Also while not quite a superstar, Jackie Young has looked on the cusp of it during parts of several seasons.

I don't know what kind of career Durr would've had without medical issues, but completely washed out of the W at this point as far as I know. Very minimal impact for the #2 overall pick.


Looking at the rest of that first round, several more gone from the league. Magbegor at #12 and the last pick of the first round was an absolute steal in retrospect.

I never understood the Durr hype. Always thought Arike was a better player when they were in college but for some reason Durr got all of the hype and accolades.

The draft itself was stacked—second round had Mabrey, Hiedeman, Cunningham, Han Xu, Jessica Shepard, Bridget Carleton and Kennedy Burke. I think only Durr/Leslie/Anigwe are the only first rounders no longer in the league which is pretty remarkable 6 years later.
