Trouble is that Liberty will probably get the No. 1 and need it the least of the WNBA's 3 stooges (Dream, Fever, Liberty). |
It’s the Rhyne Howard draft and she’s a good fit for every team. She can play 1-4 (4 in the Liberty system). |
it would be a shame to have her play the 4. She would be really good as a SF but will struggle against bigger, stronger players inside.

Agreed - SF is better suited position for her. Her JR yr was good but not like her previous. SR season should be lit, and whichever team gets her will be trending up eventually

Like New York, Atlanta arguably needs a post player more (although they’re simply gonna need a lot of things moving forward). I really wish they had bothered to keep Kalani Brown, mostly because 6-7 is 6-7, but also cuz she would be getting some decent playing time right about now to see whether or not she really had been a fit, and it might’ve also meant less of EWill and no Dupree.
Is the best true center of this Draft really about to be Shakira Austin? It just seems like there should be someone better, but unless we have early entries in that positional category (such as Sedona Prince or Ayoka Lee), Austin is probably the one. Could be worse I guess, but still.

I wouldn't take her-I'd take NaLyssa Smith all day. She is bigger and has more athleticism. To me, Howard is never trying and seems like a giant brat.

Exactly. Welcome to the Liberty system.

Regarding post players who may enter early, we're currently evaluating Prince and Sabally based on only one Covid-shorten college season. Prince has started only 10 games. For the season, she averaged roughly 10 points and 4 rebounds per game. For that, Sedona is being projected into the 1st Round. She had a couple of games against Oregon and Georgia where she looked really impressive. But again, it's only two games. Nyara Sabally appears to have physical ability, but she's really raw. The temptation is to compare her to Satou, but right now she looks more like Joyner Holmes. A little more efficient and maybe smarter, but still more like Holmes. Ayoka Lee is the other possible early entrant. She has two seasons under her belt, so there's more to work with. While I like Lee as a college player, her movement is very clunky. She looks like an old-style big, but not athletic post. So, if Kalani Brown is out of the league, and McCowan is up and down, you have to wonder about Lee at the next level.
Obviously, all these players still have another season ahead of them. We've seen players make big jumps in skill during their final year. We've even seen people change their bodies in a relatively short period of time. So anything is possible. I'm just trying to add a little perspective here.

Ashley Joens will need to drastically change her game to survive in the W. Iowa State's offense is pretty much to isolate her, give her the ball, and let her back down her defender before trying some variation of an up-and-under move as the shot clock winds down. She'll need play much more on the perimeter and work on driving to the basket to survive in the W. Good news is she can shoot well so at least there's some hope.

6-3 Malian forward playing professionally in Spain. One of the stars of the recent U19 World Cup. Put together some pretty good numbers in Spain's top division last season, averaging a double-double while shooting nearly 60% from the field. At 18. |
