Any GM who passes on Boston at #1 should be fired on the spot. Players with her size and skillset aren't around in very many drafts and if you have a shot at taking her and you pass, shame on you. Keep in mind when she plays in the pros her coach isn't going to crowd the middle so much that she has no place to move.
But what has she done this year, Cooke and others did all the scoring. She got exposed by Iowa and don't forget that if the bull crap calls, went the other way, uconn would have beat them. So I am hoping that she gets drafted, but don't think she will be a big deal. As Lou and Dorka, played through injuries and made a huge difference on the team. Just my opinion.
While I believe Miller may end up the better player in the long run, I have to agree, Boston will (and should) be the first pick. She will be a very good player (possibly great) from the moment she plays her first WNBA game until she decides to retire! That kind of assurance in the draft is very rare, especially for post players. Top level bigs are as rare as hen’s teeth and In Boston’s case she is elevated even higher due to her intelligence, maturity, and demonstrated quality as a human being. She has been nothing but classy and a stellar role model since she first achieved national prominence. I wish her all the best in life.
I think top players taking the Covid year is going to be relatively rare. Next year is the last class that has the Covid year option.
If you're a first-rounder, I don't think you take the extra year.
