Brandon Davis of the winsidr.com website likes Dangerfield's game enough to project her at #5 in the 2020 WNBA Draft in April, noting that the Phoenix Mercury needs some youth in its backcourt.
This mock draft is the first one in which I have seen South Carolina's Mikiah Herbert-Harrigan being projected as a first round pick (at #12). Chennedy Carter is projected at #4 as an early entry junior. Oregon's Satou Sabally is not listed among the first round picks, so the assumption there is that she will stay at Oregon to play one season with her younger sister. 6'5" Nyara Sabally will sit out '19-'20 with her second ACL injury.
I would agree with Davis in that Carter is likely to enter the 2020 draft, while Sabally is likely to stay for her senior season. Carter is ready (and seems eager) to be a pro. She has apparently informed those close to her that she will be the #2 pick behind Ionescu. Baylor's Lauren Cox may have something to say about that.....
UConn, 5-5 guard, 2018-19 stats: 13.4 PPG, 5.9 APG
Dangerfield has led UConn to three straight trips to the Final Four. Last year, she connected on over 35% of her shots from deep. She can dish the ball, attack the paint, and get to the charity stripe. While not the biggest player, she brings a grit and understands how to command the floor. With the Phoenix point guards all in their 30s and with over 10 years of professional experience, Dangerfield would bring some much needed youth to the Mercury’s backcourt.

The WNBA draft lottery has come and gone, and the team with the best odds, the New York Liberty, landed the No. 1 overall pick. While New York has yet to announce how they plan to use their pick, this is probably the easiest decision since Breanna Stewart going 1st overall in 2016. Led by…
