Message: [QUOTE="Shades, post: 2700814, member: 6101"] Yep, it’s all educated speculation this early. We’re also speculating the order of the teams. For the mock draft I supplied, I was at the mercy of their order of picks. We don’t know for sure that Las Vegas will have the #1 pick. The best rule of drafting is choosing talent over fit. So if you have a clear #1 (like Wilson was this year), you should take her despite team needs. It just so happened Las Vegas needs just about everything but they’re better set at guard. To me, McCowan is my clear #1 at this point. She’s tall, she’s strong and fit, and her potential is through the roof. I liked her for the same reasons in last year’s draft discussions and she only has further validated my liking her. So even if Vegas gets the #1 pick, I’d have them taking McCowan even though center won’t be their biggest need (unless Bone is awful this year). It doesn’t hurt that Laimbeer likes his players big and strong. [/QUOTE]
