Message: [QUOTE="LoTrader, post: 4946586, member: 8404"] I remember when Gary Payton was #2 in the draft and many said he wouldn't last in the NBA because he was a poor outside shooter (relative to some of the other guards in the draft). What wasn't accounted for by these pundits is that Gary Payton was a "scorer". He could take anyone to the rim and get off a shot. Gary developed a great mid-range game, and vastly improved his outside shot. But Gary also lasted in the NBA for a number of years because he also was a great assist man, and outstanding defensive player. I think Angel Reese will be drafted very high as her other contributions are so valuable. [/QUOTE]
