LOL sparks finally take Arella. |
Connecticut became the tenth team to pass on pass on Guirantes, and the ninth team to pass on her, at least twice.
She was projected as "Best Available" for nineteen picks in a row. I'm officially rooting for Arella Guirantes to develop into an All-Star.

Looking like my draft grades won’t be kind, although Connecticut and Dallas have both done well in this one.

Great, Kolb takes the one French player I didn't like.
I officially hate this Liberty draft. As they used to say in upstate NY, it sucks the moose cock.

As I told both Richyyy and J-Spoon, I thought there was a realistic chance NY would take Onyenwere. I don't hate the player, but our roster is already full of athletic wings. How many do you need?
This just in: New York has traded their 2022 1st Round pick to Dallas in exchange for the team name "Wings".

That is not thunder that you hear outside. That is me breaking the sound barrier from the outstanding joy of the Sky draft Natasha Mack. In the SECOND ROUND! I thought last year's draft was weird. HA! Watts and Gonderzick taken in the first round. I like Gonderzick. I was hoping the Sky could get her in the second round. But she is one lucky woman. A lottery pick. Unbelievable! I can not judge the Sky's first round pick because I have never seen her play before. The Sky could have had Williams so I hope this young lady is good.

She's good but she's small (and as you said, also young). It's gonna be interesting to see how she does in the big league.

From the highlights I've seen - she doesn't look quick or athletic enough considering how small she is.

The weirdest draft ever is still 2003, when the random Patriot League player went in the 1st round and never showed up, Teresa Edwards went in the second round, Phoenix took Marion Jones, and the Liberty went so far off the board in the third that the draft board couldn't spell her name and she was apparently working as a waitress (or something, it's been a while).
But yeah, this draft chose true chaos starting at 4. (McDonald doesn't make sense for Atlanta at 3 either, but at least she was, y'know, generally considered a first-round pick, as opposed to Gondrezick.) I have no idea what anyone is doing, where we're going, how we got into this handbasket, why everything is on fire, and where that tiger came from.

As I said somewhere else I am conflicted
on the one hand if I was to make a list of players that I was drawn to in this draft, who I enjoyed watching play, gave me a good feeling and I actively rooted for Onyenwere and Richards would be far up that lost. I like liking the players on my team and they both check that box to the nth degree.
OTOH Yjis does seem like overkill
SG Jones/Whitcomb
SF Laney/Onyenwere/Odom/Willoughby/Richards (luckily in the new look Liberty most of these players can play from the 2 to the 4)
here are some other options at
6 Walker, Mack, Evans, Davis, Rupert
17 Guirantes, N. Jones, Goodman
Overall I am OK with the results but we passed on some players that might have created a more balanced roster

Was this draft blown the f... up or what??? LOL
Happy the Wings got Kuier and Dungee at 5 was praying for a shooter.
Evans at 13. She was not happy that she fell into the 2nd round.
Collier prove me wrong - that's all I ask.

Did Dungee seriously lose 30 pounds? I had no idea. Also Holly: of all the things to ask about....why??? |
Yes. She was heavy during the 2019 season. It slowed her down tremendously. But, she tighten up

Too bad neither Guirantes nor Watts makes this team, I’m guessing. |
Watts is a 1st round pick so she's making the team.
