You might be right - could see it going that way. I just question if Coffey is really a 3. Jones is sort of a combo, could be a backup to Hill.

If Chicago drafts Plum,Mitchell or Deshields,they'll be forced to make a trade.Too many guards for too little minutes.

I think for every team except the Mystics, Coffey is a project trying to transition from post to SF. However, DC has two post players in EDD and Meesseman who spend a good amount of time on the perimeter shooting jump shots. Washington is the one team that can actually use a small forward who hangs out under the basket. Grabbing rebounds and scoring in the paint is what Coffey does best, so playing 3 in DC would be less of a change than elsewhere -- at least on offense. She would still have to make the full adjustment on defense.

I don't see why having a deep bench is a problem. The Mystics are, after all, the Maternity Ward of the WNBA.......

Seriously though, I might change that pick in a revision. I wasn't all that impressed with her in the games I saw.

Article from Excelle W stars point of view, agree that these 3 are most interesting but still think Plums problem is her lack of defense.

I'm thinking Bird & Whalen will be retired by 2020.

@ Shades,

Forgot about Jefferson.I'd have no issues if she made the 2020 Olympics under Geno.Jefferson would be a fresh face.

Been going back and forth as to whether I think DeShields (if she comes out) or Plum should go #1 (assuming Mitchell does not declare).

DeShields has the tantalizing athleticism and potential, but, as Richyy points out, she is 22, not 19. Plum is much more of a finished product, but also much closer to her ceiling. Will DeShields reach her potential (or does it depend on her coach)? Will Plum be able to defend bigger guards in the W? Lots of questions.

I keep wondering about the possibility of a trade between San Antonio and Atlanta...maybe a package of the #1 and #5 picks and for McCoughtry and the #7 pick. It would give SA the SF next to McBride and Jefferson, plus much-needed offensive firepower. If Angel wants out of Atlanta, I could see a trade to net Atlanta the top pick while also improving the #7 pick to #5. At #7, San Antonio could still draft a good prospect (which would be made even better if Mitchell were to declare, deepening the draft). And Atlanta would get some young players to build around its core of Hayes/Clarendon/Williams.
