The sophomore class of the W was one of the best classes in draft history. Many of them have made improvements and hugely impact their teams. The players still on rosters are the whole first round are A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Mitchell, Diamond Deshields, Gabby, Jordan Canada, Azura, Ariel Atkins, Victoria Vivians(injured), Lexie Brown, Kia, Maria Vadeeva and Marie Gulich. Second rounders are Stephanie Muvanga, Monique Billings, Myisha Hines-Allen, and Mercedes Russell. I would say the players making the most impact are Wilson, Mitchell, Deshields(as of late), Canada(before going down with injury) Atkins, Brown, and Kia. Of that list I’d say the best players in the class are 1)Wilson 13.4ppg, 8.0 rpg, 2.4 app, 1.6 bpg, 2)Mitchell 14ppg, 2.4apg, 3)Nurse 15.4ppg, 2.4apg, 4)Deshields 14ppg, 4.7rpg, 2.3apg, 1.5spg and 5)Atkins 11.4ppg, 1.3apg, 1.6spg. If I had to choose one, I’m going Ariel Atkins.
Even the players who don’t get minutes or aren’t making large impacts still impact their teams as pretty good role players.
