| As a dark horse draftee, that no one is talking or writing about, Teana Muldrow (WVU). Definitely, a solid second round pick. Big, strong, aggressive and relentless. She needs some work but should she pan out, she could be a good find.

I mentioned her just a few posts ago as someone who is not in the NCAA tournament. Out of sight, out of mind.

| Muldrow is one of my favs. I think she will go someplace between #7 - #15. And she will surprise some folks.

WNBA Draft 2018: A high-level look at the prospects the Mystics would consider this year
https://www.bulletsforever.com/mystics/2018/3/15/17114692/wnba-draft-2018-washington-mystics-prospects
| Quote: |
Some of these players are reaches, because they’ll probably be picked before the seventh spot. But perhaps one of these players will be available when it’s Washington’s time to pick.
Gabby Williams, 5’11 F, UConn
Lexie Brown, 5’9 G, Duke
Jordin Canada, 5’6 G , UCLA
Victoria Vivians, 6’1 G, Mississippi State
Azura Stevens, 6’6 C/F UConn |
International Players
| Quote: |
Maria Vadeeva, 6’3 F/C Dynamo Kursk, Russian PBL - The Russian national has been listed in several mock drafts as a first round pick. In fact, some think she could be a lottery pick. The 20 year old Vadeeva is one of Kursk’s key cogs along with Angel McCoughtry and Nneka Ogwumike. And Vadeeva was even the leading scorer for Spartak a few years ago when Emma Meesseman was her teammate. If the WNBA was in an environment like the NBA, Vadeeva could be the number one pick. FIBA’s Paul Nilsen certainly thinks so. But the reality of international play makes that unrealistic. Vadeeva could be a young version of Emma Meesseman on the Mystics, or any other team. But I’d wait until the second round before seriously considering her because of international play commitments.
Kia Nurse, 6’0 G, UConn |
He's still stewing about Meesseman missing this season. The Mystics have gotten more than their money's worth with Meesseman.

Billings is far superior than Russell.
1.Does a better job Holding post position.
2.More aggressive on offense.
3.More mobile/fluid...Can make cuts and change directions without slowing down.
4.Aggressive rebounder...Billings will chase down rebounds instead of waiting for the rebounds to come to her.
5.Billings can guard the PnR
6.Billings can guard smaller players on the switch.
7.Better on defensive rotations(Help defense)
8.Great transition player.She runs the floor on offense and defense.
Russell has a more polished post game,that's about it.....Dallas should draft Billings with the 6th pk.....Chicago should consider using one of their two lottery picks on Billings.

| If the Liberty are aggressively targeting Nurse or Vivians, I'd think it's fair to say that either way they'd have to trade up to 7 or 8, right?

i think we have to trade up to 5 or 6 for Vivians. but it wouldn't surprise me she gets drafted earlier, Nurse i think will be around by 10

I don't think The Conn Sun will let Nurse get past #9, she fits their team, and while Conn doesn't have a big need I think they have a little more room on the perimeter than in the post for a draftee, and she is from UConn.
Vivians I could see getting picked up by Chicago at 3/4, or Washington or Indy at 7/8 but I can also see a path for her to drop to #10 as well.
If we are going to trade up to to 4 or 5 I would still rather target Deshields or G. Williams, but if Vivians is there at #10 I'm OK with that too. I'm not sure a player and a pick is worth it for NY to move up to 7 or 8. ATM I think were still looking at best available at #10 and I'm thinking its going to be Nared or Vivinas or Billings if they are still there.

| Did Russell's and Nared's stock drop with today's loss? Especially Nared who was useless today.

I feel like Nared has always been in the low first round but more likely early to mid second round range. Her season has not solidified her as the first round lock she was at the end of her junior year.
Russell (at least on this board and in a few mocks) has dropped from borderline lottery pick to late first to mid second round at best. But I think her downward trajectory started a few weeks ago. But 6' 6" and top recruit out of high school probably keeps her in the next tier of bigs outside of Wilson but the fact that people are now seeing Billings, and maybe Mavunga and Gulich as better options is the result of the last few months.

Nared's stock is probably as low as it can get and Russell didn't do anything to hurt her stock except play for the losing team. Russell did a bit better than Gulich but not that much better. Both Russell and Nared are done for the year, so any chance for future heroics to impress scouts goes to some other player.

yeah Nurse could go to Sun but its all gonna depend on what happens earlier. alot can happen if there is more trades happening
we need more knock down shooters, Vivians would fit right in and i think Katie Smith knows it scouting her multiple times.
if Deshields somehow lands in our lap that would be a shock same with Gabby. Gabby ain't happening lol im not even gonna try think of it
i've been on the Nared bandwagon from the day1, and im still on it the talent is there. but what concerns me a is her lack of Leadership this year with the freshman's, her body language was not good, the pressure definitely effected her game this year.

Draft Site has updated their mock and have added several players, including several international players to it's database and have updated a lot of profiles.

I can't seem to explain Nared to myself. She does everything well and is long at 6'2" but doesn't seem to put everything together at the same time in a game. She's a mystery to me. She could be great and then? Maybe Warlick drives her crazy like she does me?
I didn't think Russell's stock went down today.

If anything it solidified where I put her in the draft, #6.
As of now I have Vivians going #10, so if NYL fans are willing to trade something good to move up in draft position, what would that be? Keep in mind that nobody’s interested in your table scraps.
