Mock WNBA Draft

[Orangutan]

I know y'all aren't high on Jewell but...

"I would say everyone played well," Taurasi said of this gathering. "But from the last camp to this camp, Kayla McBride and Jewell Loyd really have taken that next step, I feel like, in their careers. They've gone overseas, they're starting to be very sure of their games, and I feel like their next couple of years, you're going to see special things from those two." (emphasis mine)

DT seems to think Loyd is headed in the right direction.

I think Loyd improved over the course of the year and could be a superstar. It would be a gutsy move to trade her. I just think that Seattle might need Moriah more than they need Jewell. And we know that Moriah can play with Stewie and Kaleena.

That's interesting to me. Why do you think that?

To me, Jefferson and Bird are both true PGs, so I would think they'd be somewhat redundant as I don't know how well either can play the 2. From just a positional standpoint, I would say Seattle needs a wing more than a point guard. If you think Bird is just about done, that changes the equation, but it seems to me that Bird intends to play for a few more years.

Still take MoJeff in a heartbeat.

At least last season, sue was taking some games off if I remember correctly - not injured, just resting. Her years are somewhat numbered, and Jefferson could have a couple of years as a co-leader of the team and playing some off guard with Sue. That said, trading Jewel is a crazy thought.
