curious to know who you guys think have upped there draft stock so far this season. The two that come to mind are Russell & T. Scaife
I would not be surprised to see those two get drafted higher than projected.

| I haven't had much motivation to follow the draft prospects this year since my team's first pick is 16 I think. So it looks like its bottom fishing for me. Any prospects that might be around at 16? I was thinking Thomas from FSU, but 3 is about the last position we need to fill. Ideas?

| Russell has looked a lot better this year than in 2017. Had Russell entered in 2017, she would have been a late first round pick. And that would have only been because it's was a weak draft. I don't see her as a lottery pick. There's still Wilson, Mitchell, Williams, DeShields, possibly McCowan, Vadeeva all ahead of her. But I can see her going #7 or #8 to Washington or Phoenix. |
Except I don't believe half at least of those people should be in front of her.
The only certain one is Wilson.

I've got Vivians going from 2nd round to first.
I've always had Russell going to Dallas. You guys flip flip flip from game to game. I bet you're no longer down on Gabby.

Thanks. I think I've seen some of them but was probably watching other players at the time.

Who is the best of the three prospects on FSU, Thomas, Wright or Alix?

Unquestionably Thomas. Not because she's great, but because I don't see the other two as being WNBA prospects.
Thomas has some potential and has the strength and athleticism. Is she willing to learn to play proper basketball and to really work on her shooting?

Yeah, that's the main name I was gonna add as well. You also have the potential early-entries like Stevens and Collier, and maybe even Ji Su Park if someone was feeling brave.
Do we know what's happening with Brianna Turner? She'd have probably been a first round pick before the ACL injury. Has she said she's staying at Notre Dame for an extra year? |

No i am down on gabby lol , that has not changed. I do not want her on my team , id rather have Russell. Although im still not 100% sold on her neither. When its our time to pick we have to choose the best available . If i had my choice you know my option starts with a P and ends with a P .

Have you ever heard of a player red-shirting only to not return next year?
What would be the point of red-shirting? I'm sure she's well enough to play at some level this year, but McGraw wanted her for a full year at presumably 100% next year.

You forgot to also exclude Stevens (who everybody talks about), Collier (who nobody talks about), and Cunningham (who I just talked about).
I'd put Lexie Brown and Kia Nurse as first round locks ahead of Vadeeva. Too many questions surrounding Vadeeva to consider her an absolute lock, although I doubt I'd be complaining if the Lynx picked her up in the first.
It's hard to imagine Russell falling out of the first.... maybe if her game falls off a cliff.
I don't see enough of Billings and Canada to really have an opinion, so I somewhat defer to whatever hype they have produced.

If she's trying to get Missouri to "the elite of the elite", I don't suppose she'll be declaring early.

What about UNC guard Paris Kea? She's draft eligible and she's playing on a bad UNC team. If she's tired of losing and decided to come out, would she get drafted?
