Snagged 3 players that were projected first rounders, plus another intriguing overseas player.

What is the problem with Dallas exactly, that some people didn't want Lopez-Senechal to go there? If they can grab Juhasz with their remaining pick, they're a contender right away.

Great for Lou, but can anyone tell me what the plan is in Dallas, are they trying to corner the market on 6'1" SG/Wings?
Diamond DeShields (2018 #3 pick)
3. Maddy Siegrist
5. Lou Lopez-Senechal
19. Ashley Joens
11. Abby Meyers (Listed at 6'0" but they have called for a remeasure!)

This is the issue I have with Dallas, I can never figure out their plan.

my opinion: LOU goes 5 and higher than more ballyhooed players because she gets things done, is a clutch player -- a relative rarity -- and can be depended on when it's most needed.

clutch is extremely valuable. she has it; like D, though not of D's legendary level.

and is team-oriented and apparently devoid of ego issues.

It's almost as if they are loading up on high percentage shooters, so they can make a big trade involving their low percentage volume shooter.

Lou in Dallas is a great place for her to land. Her father can see most of her home games.

No shots left for Arike!

Don't bet on it. Delighted that Lou went so high, not happy where she's going. Ogunbowale is definitely not my favorite player. but she seems to be the team's favorite.

I had the exact same question. I liked their picks of Lou and Maddy. Both good shooters to put alongside their slashers. Both can play multiple positions (Lou sg/sf, Maddy sf,pf). But then they kinda selected the same type of player (Meyers sg/sf, Joens sf,pf). Like if I could pick rivals or comps to Lou and Maddy it would be those two players. It will be a competitive camp.

Interesting draft. They pick 4 big guard/small forward players, all known for their shooting. And they already have Arike, also known to take a lot of shots. Don’t understand their strategy… and never have.

Wrote this before I’d read the other comments making the same point. Great minds…

Neither can they!

Congrats to Lou but not the best destination.

Absolutely thrilled for Lou & Dorka. ❤️

The draft is like a commodities market and the assets can be traded like cattle.
It seems that they're trying to acquire BAP's, the best available players.
