| Wilson . . . maybe a taller version of Tina Charles. |
As the immortal Judge Wapner would say: This assumes facts not in evidence.. |
What does that mean? Do you think Wilson is significantly shorter than 6-5 or that Charles is taller than 6-4? USA Basketball used to list Charles as 6-3, and I think that's closer to her relative height compared to other posts I've seen. So far, I haven't noticed anything that would make me think Wilson is shorter than advertised. |
We had a whole thread recently on Wilson's height, replete with several pictures of her over the years in USAB roster lineups and standing next to LaChina Robinson and others. I think tFan started it.
My conclusion from the pictures is that Wilson is 6-3 or a fraction over, which I'd say is about the same as Charles. |

I missed that thread. If true, what does that say about Alaina Coates?

Based on that thread, I wouldn't draft LaChina Robinson.

| I know conference play will give us better answers, but what's the update on Victoria Vivians? A lot of people had her in the second round as a low percentage volume shooter. Looks like she's been more consistent this season. In 13 games she's averaging 20.1ppg and 5.8 rpg while shooting a career best 54% from the field and 39% from 3. Can anyone see her going first round?

She could very well go in the first round. For me it’s neved been her ability in that’s in question, but rather her decision making and basketball iq. If she keeps it up, in conference play, she could easily go mid to late first round.

Senior Watch: Point Guards
Note: These seven players are on the watch lists for both the Nancy Lieberman Award (top point guard) and the Naismith Trophy (top overall player), and all rank in the top 150 in assists per game (through games played on Dec. 23). Players are presented in descending order by assists per game.
http://www.wnba.com/news/senior-watch-season-giving/ (More analysis at link)
Jackie Kemph, Saint Louis
Kemph ranks fifth in the NCAA in assists per game (7.6 per game), an average that was boosted when she matched her career-high with 14 dimes in Saint Louis’ 101-57 win over Lipscomb on Dec. 17.
Jordin Canada, UCLA
Canada continues to do outstanding work on both sides of the ball for the 11th-ranked Bruins. On offense, she averages 14.3 points (2nd on team) and 6.5 assists (tied for 18th in NCAA) with an outstanding 3.94 assist/turnover ratio (6th in NCAA).
Lexie Brown, Duke
Brown leads the 14th-ranked Blue Devils in both scoring (20.8 ppg, 22nd in NCAA) and assists (4.8 per game, T-81st in NCAA) as she serves as the catalyst for Duke’s offense. Add 4.0 rebounds and 3.75 steals per game and you get a glimpse of Brown’s overall impact on the game on a nightly basis.
Brooke McCarty, Texas
McCarty was named Big 12 Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week after her outstanding performance (24 points, 10-13 FG, 6 assists, 0 turnovers) in Texas’ win over 12th-ranked and previous unbeaten Florida State on Dec. 17.
Morgan William, Mississippi State
The hero of Mississippi State’s Cinderella run to the NCAA title game last season is back for her senior season. While her scoring is down (career-low 7.2 points per game), she is still creating buckets for her teammates (4.5 assists per game ranks 104th in the NCAA). She leads the NCAA in assist/turnover ratio with an outstanding 5.36 assists for every turnover.
Kelsey Mitchell, Ohio State
In 12th-ranked Ohio State’s final game before the Christmas break, Mitchell dropped 31 points, a career-high nine assists and seven rebounds to lead the Buckeyes to an 87-76 win at Cincinnati.
Tianna Tarter, East Tennessee State
Tarter is the leading scorer (16.7 points per game) and playmaker (4.2 assists per game, tied for 138th in NCAA) for East Tennessee State. The 5’6″ guard also collects 4.2 rebounds per game and is the team’s leader in 3-pointers made with 19 on the season.
No Loryn Goodwin?

yeah she's taking smarter shots and driving the basketball more and using her body. she's got a Pro WNBA body at 6-1.
can't wait to see another Nared vs Vivians matchup, Nared is playing so good this year as a Liberty fan im startin to get afraid she won't be there at 10 lol
as far as Gabby goes, it will be interesting to see what Chicago does at 4 i think it will depend on Stevens if she comes out or not because i think right now it will be:
Aces: Wilson
Fever: Mitchell
Sky: Deshields
i could see Fever roll the dice with Diamond, but i think they will go with the best available player
and im with you Shades, Loryn Goodwin she be on that list.

| I'm leaning towards Mitchell going #2 to Indiana, even if McGowan enters the draft. The big question mark for this draft is where will Vadeeva go?

So you're looking at point guards from the SoCon and you pick Tianna Tarter? Not the one who's in the top 10 in the country in assists? Whatever...

| Wilson is more skilled than McCowan, period. Wilson would still be taken first before her even if she declares. Wilson can score, and is more versatile on both sides of the floor.

Don't need inside information to figure that out. Wilson is #1 under all conceivable scenarios.
