That's a tough one Blake. I think Dolson goes ahead of Bria, mainly because really skilled bigs are rarer than really skilled guards. I'd say Stef goes 2nd or 3rd, and Bria in the 6-8 range. If, however, Bria has an AA year her senior season I could see her going in the top 5.

I think Ogumike and Sims will go 1/2, 2/1 depending on need of team that picks 1st. Gray might go before Hartley, but Dolson will go before Bone.

If a team wants best player they will probably take Ogumike
If a team wants a guard they'll probably go Sims, Gray, Hartley
If a team wants a center they'll take Dolson.

Depends on who's picking where.

It's a tough call, it will come down to the needs of the lottery teams. It's fair to think that of the top three, two will be Sims and Chiney, but if the other lottery team needs a post that can score, I can see Stefanie going as a lottery pick. Otherwise I would expect to see both Stef and Bria going mid-1st round, 4th to 8th picks overall, in what looks to be one of the deepest drafts the W has seen since 1999.

there are not too many, if any, that are better than mcbride. she is a hard-nosed , money player, with a bit of a mean streak. i think she'll be a katie smith type of pro. she continues to be a bit overlooked. if there was a choice between she or diggins being out of the lineup against uconn, she would be my choice.
