OT Tiffany Hayes

[SCNCHuskie]

I am not sure if this should have its own thread, if not administrators can remove it. Tiffany Hayes to the Connecticut Sun.

I like Tiff, but does it really make sense for the Sun to give away the 6th overall pick in the upcoming draft for a 12-year, past-her-prime veteran?

2022 stats:
16.2 points
3.6 Rebounds
2.1 assists
0.7 steals

Pretty good numbers. Teams have to consider if a draft pick can deliver those numbers in the first 3 years. She brings a lot of hustle and leadership too.

Good point. Who knows what could happen. I am just happy for Tiff and wish her well with the Sun.

News of Tiffany OT? Are you kidding? One of UConn's greats, a key player on 2 undefeated teams, UConn lost but 2 games her first 3 seasons, and a master at hitting the floor without injuring herself. As you might guess, one of my all time favorites.

The Sun has to be mindfull worry of remaining somewhat competitive during the the next few re-build years. The draftee candidates projected to be available at or about pick 6 are Joens (IS), Horston (TN), Osbourne (UCLA). who among those (none of whom exceed 6'2") would you see being more productive than Hayes over the next few years ?- who among those would best protect season ticket renewals and/or or fill more individual game seats over the next 3 years. How often is a 6th round pick even remaining on your roster after a few years.

I think yes if she's healthy. Hayes still has a solid 3-6 years left in the league and has averaged around 15 ppg for 6 straight years. A really solid player and has a lot of experience. The players who might be available at 6 per the WNBA Mock Draft include Charisma Osborne, Ashley Joens, Jordan Horston and Elizabeth Kitley. I'm not convinced any of them last in the league more than a few years, let alone become double figure scorers. I think it's a win for Connecticut.

Tiff has averaged between 12.9 ppg and 17.2 ppg for the last 8 years. She made 1st Team All-WNBA in 2018. I think she's still at her peak. The Connecticut fans will support her. Over the next few years, this is a winning proposition.

Let me climb on to the Tiffany bandwagon. And I love her smile.

Stupid waste of the 6th overall pick. Very skeptical of this new GM..

I’d be interested to know who you think they can get with that 6th pick, that is likely to be better than Tiffany over the next three years?

 

[Bald Husky]

I don't trust this new GM, with literally no experience in this position. Love Tiff, but not a good move to get rid of a #6 pick. The team just got older.

 

[Rowdy831]

One team thought she was better than the 6th pick and one didn't. I think her ability to pull UCONN fans to the games is a huge part of this decision.

Not only a12 year vet but she stays hurt a lot. Connecticut sun always get close to a championship and always mess up the roster.

In reality aside then the nr. 1 pick (Boston), there are no sure All NBA players in the 23 draft. The 24 draft is another story and giving away 24 draft picks seems like a bad idea. Tiff is better than any of the 23 draft picks not named Boston.
