Kathleen Doyle's focus shifts toward WNBA Draft
https://www.thegazette.com/subject/sports/hawkeyes/iowa-womens-basketball/kathleen-doyles-focus-shifts-toward-wnba-draft-20200331
| Quote: |
| “I’m focused on the WNBA Draft now,” she said. “I just want to keep playing basketball, and I want to play in the WNBA.” |
| Quote: |
“She’s tough, knows how to distribute and score. Her numbers have improved steadily every year, especially in her senior campaign. She is as solid and well-rounded point guard as any in this draft. A steal for L.A. this late in the game.”
With Carver on lockdown, Doyle focuses on ball-handling drills in her apartment. |

| I have seen several mock drafts that include Ciara Duffy in the third round. Ciara has been quoted often, including in a re-tweet yesterday from Jay Elsen at Midco Sports Network, saying she is done playing basketball. She is getting married in July, and wants to look for a teaching job.

Someone who's currently walking away from basketball but whose rights could be retained in case they wanted to return in a year or two might actually be preferred by some teams over a random third-rounder they'll cut after three days of training camp. |

Cuz it’s April, mock draft:
*not an April fools joke so don’t laugh too hard lol
1. New York- Sabrina Ionescu G 5’11
Franchise changing talent, amazing playmaker, welcome to the big apple.
2. Dallas- Satou Sabally F 6’4
Super talented forward, can beat 4s (and 3s) with her quickness, and big height advantage over 3s (and some 4s).
3. Indiana- Lauren Cox F/C 6’4
Great defensive player, good passer, inside-out game with range should pair well with McCowan.
4. Atlanta- Chennedy Carter G 5’7
Dynamic, explosive scorer who can get her own shots with the ability to create for others with the defensive attention she draws. Better shooting version of Courtney Williams, and the Dream have another great 2 guard in Hayes. But because of her ballhandling and 1on1 game I give her the slight edge over my next pick.
5. Dallas- Megan Walker F 6’1
I think I’m in the minority, but I think she is ready for the W and the Wings are fortunate to stockpile talent. She scores a lot, efficiently, from deep, cuts to the basket, takes contact and 1, curls and pull up jumpers. She can also find the open teammate, rebound well, get you some steals and occasional block. Unfortunate for her to go to Dallas (Sabally, Thornton, Gray, Samuelson, Ogunbowale).
6. Minnesota- Ruthy Hebard C/F 6’4
I realize Sims is out for a bit, but I like Ruthy over Tyasha and Crystal. Lynx get an amazingly efficient finisher in the paint, who rebounds well, is strong with a big body. While not taking them often she has a nice midrange jumper I’ve seen on rare occasions, maybe play some 4 too.
7. Dallas- Beatrice Mompremier F/C 6’4
Physically gifted, working on expanding her range. Efficient FG%, great rebounder. Wings go with potential and get a solid point guard regardless with their next pick.
8. Chicago- Tyasha Harris G 5’10
Good passing ability, nice height, plays the passing lanes, good A:TO, calming presence for your floor general. Gets to learn from Vandersloot, and maybe play alongside her in the future if she keeps working on the jumper.
9. Dallas- Crystal Dangerfield G 5’5
After picking two forwards and a post, Wings get a point. Plays the passing lane well, love her jumpshot, and she can get assists. Good backup with imo potential to be a starter.
10. Phoenix- T’ea CooperG 5’8
Mercury get a talented guard who can shoot the ball, score in a variety of ways as well as make plays for others. She also plays the passing lane well.
11. Seattle- Mikayla Pivec G 5’10
Maybe my biggest ‘reach’. I really like her physicality, she’s got a great nose for the ball. Her rebounding is amazing, she can pass and take a lot of contact and finish in the paint in traffic. If she can work on that outside shot to become more of a threat, she could have gone higher. Not sure Magbegors plans but this is a tough place to be drafted this year.
12. Washington- Bella Alarie F 6’4
Talented and versatile scorer, inside out threat. Blocks shots and rebounds well, solid athlete, fairly fluid for a big. I was higher on her when the season started and wouldn’t mind if she slipped to 13.
13. New York- Kiah Gillespie F 6’2
She’s a good scorer inside, and has expanded the range past the 3pt line (not efficient though). Good rebounder. Could challenge Gray for her spot if that shot falls in training camp.

| I really like Ruthy Hebard, and I know Lynx need a guard, but It'd be hard to pass her up. Lynx are going to have options next year for guards so if they have to use someone short term for a year, I'm okay with that.

Yeah, I was just thinking about whether any picks would change due to teams thinking there might not be a 2020 season at all. Drafting for need is generally a bad idea, but it becomes especially pointless if there's going to be another offseason and another draft before we play any more games. I doubt it changes too many choices, but it might be another factor that they at least add to the pile. |
