There's a lot up in the air right now, but assuming the 2020 WNBA Draft/season happens, here are some of the top prospects IMO:
1. Rennia Davis, Tennessee-might be one of the top picks in the draft. Fits the prototype for a solid WNBA wing. Deep range, good off the bounce and a solid rebounder at 6-2.
2. Dana Evans, Louisville-strong scoring PG, has consistently improved each year at Louisville. On the small side but could make a solid guard in the pros.
3. Didi Richards, Baylor-likely the best glue player in America. Outstanding passer, rebounder and likely named the national DPOY if the award is issued this year. Scoring ability needs to improve but the rest of her game is solid.
4. Michaela Onyenwere, UCLA-probably the most polished kid in the draft, problem is she's only 5-11 and her style of play is more of a PF than a wing. Needs to develop better wing skills to be able to stick in the pros.
5. Kiana Williams, Stanford-strong playmaking PG with good range on her shot. Very similar style of play to Crystal Dangerfield, has a few inches on her.
6. Destiny Slocum, Oregon State-good size/skill, solid passer and a great shooter and playmaker. Has been somewhat underwhelming since her standout freshman season though, this upcoming year will be a big chance for her to make her mark as OSU's likely go to.
7. Aari McDonald, Arizona-if she doesn't declare this year, McDonald should have better draft stock in 2021. A bit undersized, but a chance to improve her perimeter shot and her A/TO ratio.
8. Unique Thompson, Auburn-good scorer and rebounder at 6-3.
9. DiJonai Carrington, Stanford/??-standout performer at Stanford in 2018-19, has the makings of being a strong wing in the pros.
10. Lindsey Pulliam, Northwestern-strong guard with a scoring mentality. Needs to improve efficiency.
11. Ali Patberg, Indiana-6th year senior, good scorer and distributor.
12. Chelsea Dungee, Arkansas-strong scoring wing, regressed a bit as a junior.
Other noteworthy eligible players:
1. Evina Westbrook, Connecticut-with a big year she could easily be a top 3-4 pick in this class. Big guard with well rounded skills.
2. Chasity Patterson, Kentucky-a bit on the small size, but showed good skill at Kentucky this year.
3. Sidney Cooks, Mississippi State-face up 4 with good range on her shot. Stock could skyrocket with a big year at Mississippi State.
4. Charli Collier, Texas-will be eligible based on birth year. Talented 6-5 player with range out to 3.
Overall this draft looks incredibly weak. If Walker stayed, she likely would've been the #1 or #2 pick in this class. Carter if she stays will be a lock for #1 unless someone has a huge season. The 2022 and 2023 classes that should be deeper and more talented, especially 2023.
