Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4285165, member: 2117"] At first glance I think Indiana won this draft. I like Smith as a prospect more than Howard and think she'll thrive in Indiana at #2. Gives them a star player to build around, and Smith will continue to improve. I also love Engstler at 4, she has all the skills to be a very good pro IMO without any major question marks. Hull at 6 is a little bit of a reach but like Engstler, she's a high energy hustle player that can help elevate the intensity on the court and in practice. Has good size too at 6-1. I also think Queen Egbo at 10 is an aggressive but compelling choice. She has the physical abilities to be a solid pro, just needs to avoid foul trouble and play with more consistency. I think she has the tools to be a solid backup a year or 2 down the line. And drafting Henderson at 20 is a great pick, she's solid on both ends and could compete with DRob/Lindsey Allen for playing time, likely in a backup role. Other winners were Atlanta and Washington. Atlanta nabs Howard and somehow gets Naz Hillmon in the 2nd round. Naz has her shortcomings but could prove to be the steal of the draft if she works on her perimeter game. She definitely has the physical abilities and motor to be an excellent pro. Washington gets Shakira Austin who has pro skills and should be a solid backup year 1, and nabbing Christyn Williams in the 2nd round is a great value add. Williams has been streaky but should make the roster and could wind up being a solid pro. I don't love trading the 1st pick away but given the 2 they were left with, I thought they made strong picks.
