Otherwise, I don't see how Laksa would go in the 1st Round based on what she's done (or hasn't done) in the last two years. |
I have a question about this. What happened to the view on Laksa? If I remember correctly, last year she was seen as a first round pick before her injury. Is it just concerned that she hasn't healed well? |
Mmm right the last two years, 2018 I think FIBA World Cup her FG% was in the low 30s, I think from 3 she was okay in the mid 30s.
2019 and this most recent season for TTT Riga domestic and EuroLeague I think she was shooting 20% from 3.
She was considered a potential first round pick pre injury, she did light it up from 3 in college and has good size for a wing. But her recent shooting hasn’t been great.
I can’t speak to what I’ve seen post college, so that’s based on the basic stats.

2020 WNBA Draft Analytics: The PLUM Model
http://www.tothemean.com/2020/04/12/wnba-draft-2020.html
Quote: |
The PLUM draft model (named after Kelsey Plum) utilizes machine learning to objectively predict which players will succeed in the WNBA.
The model incorporates advanced statistics derived from college play-by-play data which are not available anywhere else (Bayesian RAPM, "Adjusted" box score stats, rate stats, etc.). These statistics isolate the impact and efficiency of a single player by controlling for playing time, pace, other players on the court (opponents, teammates), etc. The model also uses player characteristics (year in school, height). Lastly, a big improvement this year is the addition of the espnW 100 HoopGurlz high school recruiting rankings. |
Liberty fans may find it distressing that the top two names on Ionescu's Playing Style Comps list are Tori Jankoska and Allison Lacey, both notorious draft busts.

Sabrina is the next GOAT. She deserves to be drafted number one.

Pilight, has anyone else been drafted higher than 9th that got cut before the season opened and has (thus far) never appeared in a regular-season game for any team? |
No. Astan Dabo also went #9 in 2012 and has yet to set foot in the US, let alone play a WNBA game.

Technically Jankoska was with the Sky for 1 game but never played a seocnd (DNP) and was then cut. (I believe the Sky had players yet to come back from overseas?)

The PLUM Model definitely needs some work. Look at the 2018 analysis where Kaylee Jensen, Vionise Pierre-Lewis, Katelynn Flaherty, and Dekeiya Cohen were all ranked ahead of both Kia Nurse and Diamond DeShields. Cohen might eventually pan out, she put up huge numbers in Turkey this winter, but Pierre-Lewis was meh for a second division Spanish team while Flaherty and Jensen are already out of basketball.

Sorry if it was already posted, is there a list of players who will be participating in the virtual draft?
From instagram I see some players who got boxes of merchandise (draft shirts, hats from every team) include:
Carter, Walker, Harris, Mompremier, Alarie, Dangerfield, Cooper, Gillespie, Charles.
I assume Ionescu, Sabally, Cox, and Hebard also got boxes. With these four that would be like 13 ‘invites’.

There's supposedly going to be virtual media availability with everyone who goes in the first round almost immediately. Exactly how they'll pull that off if someone drafts Unknown Random X from Outer Mongolia, we'll have to wait and see. |

They've dealt with the same problem in the past. They usually just show a picture of the player and move on.

Totally, I’m more so curious on how smooth a virtual draft will be. Like will there be lots of pauses, tech glitches etc. I know there have been plenty of first round picks who were not on the radar lol and sadly invites who wait such a long time to get picked.

It'll be fun to see some of them hunting thru their boxes trying to find the right thing, and maybe even grabbing the wrong one!
I guess we could use this list to pick who will be last picked. It won't be as embarrassing as sitting at the table in person.

The draft is technically scheduled to air for 3 hours to include interviews with all first-round picks. The first pick is expected to be announced around 7:30pm.
