With their first round pick (6th overall), they they chose South Carolina power forward Mikiah Herbert Harrigan, a talented and competitive athlete who needs to improve as a rebounder and continue to develop offensively. In the second round, they chose 5-5 point guard Crystal Dangerfield, then they traded veteran stretch forward Stephanie Talbot to New York for third-round draft pick Erica Ogwumike (Rice), sister of Nneka and Chiney.
If you look closely at these selections, you'll see a team that wants to remain competitive and hoping to blossom again in 2-3 years.

Lynx's draft picks point more toward the long term
The Lynx could have taken a more polished player or a pure point guard at No. 6. Instead, they gambled on upside. They are hoping to position themselves for next year's free-agents, and get back to taking swings at a title.
