I know you are looking at Bella Alarie but with Sims out is Harris at 6 a thought? |
No, but I think she may be the best senior PG available below Ionescu.
I haven’t heard anything official about Sims being out. At this point, I’m not feeling desperate to overdraft a guard at #6. I think there will be some good choices available at #14. A lot can still happen in free agency.

Who should be on our radars for next year, OOC? |
The name that we will probably hear the most about is Awak Kuier from Finland. Also at that upper tier of prospects is Iliana Rupert, but she will probably fall with availability concerns since she is French. In the next tier are players like Marine Fauthoux from France and Shyla Heal from Australia. Also draft-worthy at this point are Reka Dombai from Hungary, Raquel Carrera from Spain, Lily Scanlon from Australia, and Kendra Chery and Zoe Wadoux from France. A few other players have time to impress and get themselves in the picture by next season. |

really Shades? It's been announced she's pregnant and will likely miss most of the season.

This is a long article that includes a summary for each player, so go check it out... and then argue it out here.

Just a reminder, these rankings are based on college performance this season and not WNBA potential.

Dropped out: Kaila Charles, Maryland (No. 4); Bella Alarie, Princeton (No. 16); Tynice Martin, West Virginia (No. 19); DiJonai Carrington, Stanford (No. 20); Peyton Williams, Kansas State (No. 22); Elizabeth Balogun, Louisville (No. 23); Ae'rianna Harris, Purdue (No. 24); Shadeen Samuels, Seton Hall (No. 25)
Senior
Draft eligible
The #6 Pivec is the first example of college ranking not equaling WNBA draft ranking. Keep that in mind, Reeve. You already have Carleton if you re-sign her.
Spooner’s lottery pick is teetering at #25. She’s missed quite a few games, as has Chennedy Carter.
They’re being brutal to Charles and Alarie. Maryland is ranked Top 10. Princeton is not ranked but close.

You must be in love with this draft. Who do you want?
It would be silly to make it such a trade before declarations were decided. Somebody tell me why.

All right, we gotta talk about Louisville's Jazmine Jones, who shockingly no one both on this forum and in WBB media ever seems to bring up?
6'0 true SG that plays some SF
14.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 1.6 ATO (averaging 3.4 APG)
Leads the team in both FG% (55.6%) and SPG (1.7) so she earns the "two-way player" label at least in my book
Averages only 1.2 3-point attempts/game but still shoots a not-terrible 36%
Had 19 points on 7-11 FG (3-4 3PT) along with 8 boards in their most recent win, @#4 NC State
She'll never become a star player at the next level, but the way this year's draft pool is, I'd be shocked if she didn't go somewhere in the second round. Imo there's even a chance that she's picked in the first round - I'd be more than content with my Storm picking her at #11, for example. She's been a fantastic role player this year, so in theory she'd be quicker to settle into being one at the next level than many of these other prospects.

I don't watch South Carolina WBB enough to know, but I wonder why Harris doesn't average more APG than she does (5.4), given all the weapons around her including one of the best post players in the country in Boston. Regardless, 5.4 per game ain't bad; and her fantastic ATO of 2.72 is probably the more important assists-related number anyway. She doesn't have any clear weaknesses to her game, but other than her ATO, idk, she doesn't stand out to me - maybe just because she isn't flashy like other guards in the draft pool. Still, she's certainly in the first-round of my mock (I too have her #12 to the Mystics - though I'm not gonna update it until the funky draft order inevitably gets a bit more sorted out!).

The new discovery of good post talent did not make the above list. This player is my second favorite post player second only to Lauren Cox and that is Natasha Mack. The way everyone wants Sabally and Carter to leave school early my number one wish is for Mack to declare for the draft. 
It just a pipe dream, I know. |
I just don't see Mack entering early. She'd only be a second-round pick this year. |
Mack can make a jump shot unlike Mompremier and Hebard. She is also the best defensive post in the country. She is a great rebounder and shot blocker. The only reason that she might fall in this draft is because she is a fresh face and no one knows about her yet. |
I promise I know about Natasha Mack! (fwiw... which is next to nothing  ) She reminds me in a lot of ways of another Natasha... She's certainly good enough to where if she were to early-declare, I think she'd get enough attention in doing that to sneak into the first round - especially if Miami's Mompremier's draft stock falls if she mysteriously doesn't play the rest of the year, as nobody knows why she hasn't played since ACC season started. Injury? Personal reason? Whatever the reason, they sure are keeping it private & locked up tight. (I'd be real frustrated if I were a Miami WBB fan.)
Stanford's Carrington still isn't back from her injury either, but she at least could medical redshirt and play college ball next year if she's out the rest of this year. There doesn't appear to be as many SGs in the 2021 draft pool as there are for this year, too, so honestly she probably should just redshirt - even if she has to leave Stanford via grad-transfer to do so. (VanDerveer almost always fills up her roster to the 15-player max every year. Myrtle would likely know the roster numbers/dynamics for next season.)
