For NY Liberty and/or Walker fans.......Walker was their target all along

[Lynx23]

This article helps explain in detail the philosophy and strategy behind the picks Hopkins and Kolb made, many of which left certain BY'ers scratching their heads:

New York lands ‘every single target’ in a historic six-pick draft

The Liberty's first overall pick was no surprise, but the rest of their picks reveals the 'New Era' system beyond Sabrina Ionescu

Not convinced. Hard to win without a significant post threat and it seems his vision is for everyone to think 3 first and work off that. Still, will be excited to see what happens

The league is changing, the last 2 champions, Seattle, and Washington, neither had a big post presence. They both spread the floor and created mismatches. Players like Stewie, and EDD are changing the way the game is played.

I still doubt Walker has the all round game but hope to be proven wrong. The best thing to happen to Meg is Sabrina.

It’s always nice when a plan comes together.

MW has game, she sure does. Your only mad cause she didn’t stay her senior year! We cheered her all year and will continue to do so at the NY Liberty. You should too. Hope she proves you incorrect.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Seattle had the 6'4" superstar Breanna Stewart. Washington had the all star 6'4" forward Emma Meeseman and the All-Everything EDD at 6'5". The year before that it was the monster center Sylvia Fowles, and before that Candace Parker. Then the year before, back to Sylvia Fowles.

The original post was saying post presence was essential, I noted that players like Stewie and EDD are not essentially post presence. The WNBA and NBA have evolved into a more well rounded game. The best teams have multi talented bigs.
