Way early 2024 WNBA Mock Draft 3.0

[Kaizen]

If Paige stays 2 more year in UConn, people will complain two #1 class players in the same school for 2 years is not healthy....

 

[Gordo]

Kamilla Cordosa will be the #1 pick in '24 IMO.

Not a chance! Clark will be the #1 pick unless she stays for a COVID year. However, Cordosa with average improvement next season and a lot more minutes will definitely go very high in the draft. Offensively she's almost unstoppable. I like Brink but you can't count on her not to get into foul trouble ... maybe not even make it into the 2nd half. But when she under control, she's special. I don't think Reese will be coming out next. I suppose it will depend on if LSU should win another NC. If so, she'll definitely stay for a chance for the 3peat.

I would guess to say 50% of these kids on this list will not enter the draft next year

Cameron brink skill set at 6'4 6'5 will make her the hottest commodity of this group. Sitting right behind her would be Aliyah Edwards as far as the duo post/wing players . Caitlin Clark obvious number one only because Paige Bueckers injury.

Top 8
Caitlin Clark
Cameron Brink
Paige Bueckers
Kamilia Cardoso
Aliyah Edwards
Rickia Jackson
Angel Reese
Haley Vanlaith

Hailey VanLith will do almost nothing in the W and I wouldn't rank her that high. She is short, she is a streaky shooter, and she has 0 athleticism. She will have a very hard time in the W, IMO. I would rank someone like, say, Aubrey Griffin, ahead of Hailey Van Lith as a pro prospect.

A player who will DEFINITELY be in the top 8 is Charisma Osborne of UCLA.

Your get no argument when you're right. Great call on both Aubrey and Charisma.

A bit harsh on Van Lith, but in general agree. I say her being a streaky shooter is more good than bad. She is short and appears to be a bit slow to react on defense. It would be interesting and a good indicator of her pro potential to see her play against UConn and our defense.

 

[Dezoworld]

It's hard to rate where a player will be a year from now. A year ago Edwards came off what most thought was a mediocre season. I didn't but that is at issue. Edwards was known as a very hard worker
ever since HS. The jump she made into this past season was mostly in being more assertive and confident along with a reliable mid-range. I expect that she will take Juhasz's two or three 3pt shots a game. And polish her defense. And continue to get stronger.

I thought the problem in her sophomore season was twofold. She was given a much bigger role at both ends and she no longer had Bueckers dropping perfect passes in her hands for easy baskets. With Bueckers' expected return Edwards could have a huge statistical season.

But I still say Bueckers will go higher.

I agree with you on Paige making her better. I also think she could of did the same thing her sophomore year as what she did last season. The thing was she had guards who would not pass into the post because uconn would depend on outside shots. CW Evina and then you had Olivia taking 17 footers. AE had an opportunity to show what she's capable of and will only get better. She's definitely a Top 10 in my eyes but it's whatever a team needs
