I’m really high on Wilson, and LVA made a couple key acquisitions that may work for them. I’m not sure if they’re a lottery team this year. They probably are but making the playoffs could be close for them if they gel quickly.
Looking at CHI roster, I’m not sure what’s going on. They need a couple of their dime store posts to really step up, and the rest have have to mesh together somehow. They could be a surprise or they could be a disaster. Leaning towards disaster. Lobo gave CHI the highest draft rating, even though the pieces don’t really fit and I’ve never heard of their third round pick. Just think, Lobo, this team could have had Stevens.
Washington looks pretty meh to me. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them at least flirting with the lottery.
I think ATL could surprise. I’m hoping for disaster from SEA but they’re looking better this year. Dallas should be much better. PHX looks tough if everybody is 100%. MIN, who knows? CON, another who knows. But neither are anywhere near flirting with the lottery.
Except for their third round pick, the Liberty got good value in the draft, but will that be enough to offset whatever effect the venue and coaching change has on them? They’re a bit of a wild card for me.
Sparks are the team to beat. It disturbs me that Vadeeva was so excited to be drafted to the Sparks and nobody thought to prevent it. Maybe a little collusion going on here? “Ve vill not play for you, Tim Tibow”. “Take ve hike, Poker”.

hate to say it, but Chicago
Can't think of a 4th, will probably be some team whose best player gets injured for a big chunk of the season.

Indy and Chicago are the easy picks. After that, a lot of 'what ifs'.

Oh yeah Seattle. For some reason I thought they drafted Stevens instead of Canada. Agreed with WNBA09's list then.

Co-sign.
I do feel better about this happening after the draft, though. I think other teams helped themselves for next season more than Seattle did.
Ever since Richyyy noted the possibility I have been having such wonderful dreams of a little lotto luck, an early declaration, and replacing Whalen with Ionescu.

Ionescu is excellent, but I don’t see her as the early declaring and not getting her degree type.... unless she’s like Anriel Howard and wraps up her degree in three years.
To me right now, nothing can top the vision of Teaira McCowan learning from Sylvia Fowles. Ohmigawd ohmigawd ohmigawd. Hey whoever has #1, you go ahead and take Kalani Brown. I want McCowan. No phone calls will be accepted.

New York ain't a lock for the playoffs. They only added Nurse, Russell and some scraps. Russell replaces Raincock, Nurse (likely) replaces R. Allen and possibly Gray replaces Zahui B.

I think I'm selling Chicago short:
*Arguably the best PG in the league.
*Two top 20 scorers(Quigley/Dolson)
*Faulkner making her return
*The additions of DD/GW/AC
Passing on Stevens could come back to bite Chicago.But that's not gonna stop Gabby from being the athletic,high enery,high IQ,super roleplayer that she's always been.And if Diamond can avg 13-15 pts with solid defense,I give chicago a legit shot at making the playoffs....Also,bringing Gabby of the bench would be the best move.If Stocks has any ideas of starting GW at PF,the Chicago Sky franchise will be doomed.
