My guess is Atlanta and Washington will both regret trading away the #7 pick.

Most likely a list from last year,as you can see Washington is listed as having the #7 pick.Go back to the first page of this thread and you'll see a similar list.

except if you look at the quotes, like this one:
| Quote: |
| Mayberry was huge in leading Tulsa to the NCAA Tournament where they battled Stanford tough. She does a solid job of taking care of and distributing the basketball to complement her offensive skills, which makes her an intriguing pick. |
or
| Quote: |
| Goodrich was a Lieberman Award finalist in 2013. She is a dynamic playmaker that has all of the tools of a top flight point guard to last in the WNBA for a long time to come. |

I actually really like her point guard instincts, but the godawful shooting percentage and the fact that she's tiny really count against her. I'd say 13 is the highest she could go, and wouldn't be surprised if she slipped a fair bit further than that. |

Ya, i agree, she's a good PG, but with her height combined with terrible shooting, I just don't see why people are so high on her as a pro PG

I don't think too many people are that high on her, that college sports mock draft from above that had her at 5 was pretty out of step with the consensus on this board at least. I think most see her as a mid to late 2nd round pick at best. I like her. If she was taller or had a better shot she would be much higher. But if you need someone to be a back up PG for your team and you have shooters I think she should get a look. It is too bad really because she is actually IMO one of the only true PG in the draft.
Other small PG have survived in the league Mitchell (who has a very high percentage 3 pt shot and a great assist/turn over ratio) and Bobbit (Who can hit the three and is pesky on defense) neither of those players are world beater but they've both played decent minutes at times on decent teams so it is not unheard of. And even though she isn't the best shooter she did have her 3 point shot up in the high thirties her jr. year so it is not out of the question that she could become more consistent.
Atlanta is probably her best shot to make a roster. I would say Washington and NY wouldn't be out of the question but they already have small PGs ahead of her, Seattle 2013 but again it would be small backing up small and could she make it when Bird returns, and SA would be a small outside chance as well, Minnesota has a vacancy at back up PG and the shooters but they might be able to pick someone bigger at 12 or 14. I think it will be overseas for her and come back with more of a consistent outside threat of a shot.

With the right team who needs a pure point, or back up guard like Atlanta, Indiana or even Minnesota, or LA, i could see Goodrich as a good fit. Not saying she's a first rounder by any means, but i could see her having a long career in the W. In the few games I've seen her play i thought she was a pretty good point guard, who always looked to pass first and not afraid of contact or attacking the basket. Yes, her shooting percentages are awful, but if Shannon Bobbitt can find a place on a roster, maybe Angel can too.

Oh yeah I like her in LA as well, if she could fall to their second round pick at 22 that might be the best option for her and them.
Harding/Goodrich
Toliver/1st round pick (let's say Mathies/Rodgers or Clarendon)
Beard/Ohea
Ogwumike/Anosike/Hoffman
Parker/lavender
You want to go big move Parker or Ogwumike to the 3

| She's my pick for the Dream. She should still be around at 13. I prefer her to Bentley. We need a passer who can find big players. Bentley is not such a great shooter either and only gets half as many assists, though I admit, a better shooter than Goodrich. If Moore is still available, she's the best choice. I'm betting both Bentley and Goodrich are still around at 13. I'm not even very sure they will draft a pg anyway, given some of the comments on thier Draft Review.

Actually, according to LA beat writer Sue Favor, the Sparks may be targeting a possible SF candidate from Turkey named Tugce Canitez to spell Alana Beard. (See http://www.examiner.com/article/after-top-three-wnba-draft-a-top-heavy-toss-up about 3/5 of the way down the article.) Tugce (pronounced like "Touche'"), a 6'2", 187-pound SF was named the NAIA Player of the Year while playing for NAIA quarterfinalist Westmont College, averaging a double double of 19.1 PPG and 10.5 RPG. She played in the 2012 London Olympics for her home country Turkey.

Bentley is too short of a guard for Reeve. She won't pick her.

| Bentley is almost exactly same size/shape as Whalen. I wouldn't preclude her based on size. [yeah I know they are listed at two inches different, but I would bet side by side, they would be very similar]

You may be right. I keep going back and forth with her and Moore. Let's go with Moore.

Don't think many Styx fans are regretting it at this point.
