Yeah these mocks are a joke especially with just about 98% of the draftees having the covid year lol good luck predicting a draft order without knowing if they declare lol
Agreed, far too early for this

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

I prefer to think that Paige will stay at least 2 more years and in a perfect world her COVID year too!!!!

Better speculation.

The thought of playing for Indiana Fever as #1 pick.
She could be the key to rebuilding.

With her and Nalyssa Smith, all they really need is a good group of guards around them. Kelsey Mitchell, Lexi Hull, Destanni Henderson and the #7 pick this year is a great start.

With their record last year, they’re all but guaranteed a top pick next year as well in what could the best draft class in WNBA history.
 
Don’t think anyone’s going before Clark in next year’s draft. If it were up to me. I’d definitely take Paige first.
I am waiting to see Paige's performance. If not surprised Paige and Clark will be the top two picks for 2023-2024.

At this point, I’d probably take Clark since she’s shown more durability. Paige has been injury prone during her college career which isn’t her fault but is a cause for concern at the next level.

If the Fever get to draft either Clark or Bueckers next year to go along with Boston and Smith, they’ll have 3 of the best young players in the league

She is not very good at mocking drafts. Most of those small guards ahead of Cardoso won't make a roster. Brink, Clark, Bueckers, Cardoso, Jackson, Reese, Edwards and Lee are the only ones that are a sure thing in my opinion of making a roster. The rest are good players but there is nothing exceptional about them. Van Lith will have an outside shot, but she is kind of small and a streaky shooter.
 
Love Paige, put predict that Edwards goes higher in draft. More based on the exceptional year I feel Edwards will have plus the extra year Paige will need to overcome 2 years of injuries. Both will go high based on NCAA Championship UConn will win.
 
If Mir McLean has become the #10 prospect in her class in just one full season at Virginia, then Geno must have missed something. I know that he saw enough to recruit her, but he didn’t see enough to actually play her. Now, I don’t believe that she is actually #10, but I do think that she should have gotten more than 2-3 minutes per game. To go from mop up minutes at UCONN to star at Virginia and projected first round draft pick in one season is either ridiculous or incredibly impressive. As for Mir, I’m glad that she found a program that is a better fit for her and I wish her well; as for the Huskies, it leads back to the season long debate about using the bench more. I eventually came down on Geno’s side that they simply weren’t contributing enough to warrant many more minutes, but was another Mir sitting on the bench and waiting for an extended opportunity? With 14 players on the roster for next season, players are probably going to have to grab time rather than wait for a chance. Hopefully we will have a bunch of players deserving of time.
 
Watched several of Mir's games this year. The limited talent on her team gave her more opportunities than she would have earning at most schools. She definitely took advantage of this but curious placement in mock draft. She had a good year but based on the games I saw will have issues making the top 15, maybe the top 20. In any case, happy to see her be mentioned.
