Chicago needs Angel Reese.

Here's my prediction: 1. Indiana - Caitlin Clark, G, Iowa 2. Los Angeles - Cameron Brink, F/C, Stanford 3. Chicago - Kamilla Cardoso, C, South Carolina 4. Los Angeles - Rickea Jackson, F/G, Tennessee 5. Dallas - Isobel Borlase, G, Australia 6. Washington - Aaliyah Edwards, F, UConn 7. Chicago - Angel Reese, F, LSU 8. Minnesota - Jacy Sheldon, G, Ohio State 9. Dallas - Nyadiew Puoch, F/C, Australia 10. Connecticut - Dyaisha Fair, G, Syracuse 11. New York - Elizabeth Kitley, C, Virginia Tech 12. Atlanta - Taiyanna Jackson, C, Kansas

@@Lilquan2004 that's a good question, and I personally like Reese over Edwards but I think Washington will take Edwards in this scenario. I think Edwards has a more advanced offensive game than Reese at this point (mainly her mid-range shot and she's a little better in the post and on drives to the basket). They'll need more scoring since Elena Delle Donne is sitting out this year (or maybe she's retiring?).

I think you add up the pluses and minuses of each one you get the same score but the points will come from different areas for each one, comes down to gut feeling and how you think each will develop in the first 3-4 years.

If Chicago gets Cardoso and Reese, they will be the most popular team with South Carolina and LSU support. Clark might be the most popular player(currently). However, Chicago will be the most popular team. LA Sparks about to mess this up if they don't select Cardoso with the 2nd pick.

You mean the one who beat Caitlin Clark in 2023 women's basketball national championship.. Queen Angel Reese has a ring..

why the hell would angel reese fall out of the 1st round?? am i missing something??

I think Chicago really wants to get Reese, and that they traded to get the 7th pick to make sure that they get her. One change I would make would be to take Rickea Jackson as the 3rd pick over Cardoso, as most people have Cardoso going 3rd. ...Now would be the ideal time for the WNBA to open four new franchises. That would add an additional 48 players to the league. Any recommendations for cities? Columbia, South Carolina and Des Moines, Iowa would really do well as long as they drafted some players from the Universities of South Carolina and Iowa, respectively, I believe. I also think Austin, Texas and Baton Rouge would do well.

It was announced yesterday that the Chicago Sky have the 7th pick and Minnesota has the 8th pick now.

Here are my top-10 WNBA picks (after reflecting back on your breakdown of the players’ game) of course I have Caitlin Clark going #1, Kamilla Cardoso #2, Angel Reese # 3, Cameron Brink #4, Rickea Jackson #5, Aaliyah Edwards #6, Celeste Taylor #7, Jacy Sheldon# 8, Alissa Pili #9, and at #10 I have Charisma Osborne.

Las Vegas should start taking wagers on where the top 100 portal players will go. It would be interesting to see where the general public think the players will end up.

Btw the Lynx and the Chicago Sky have swapped first round picks in this year's draft. Also in some ways I think Caitlan Clark should be even better in the WNBA bc she will be surrounded by much better shot makers.

Everyone just sit back and watch how Angel is going to play she want to play in WNBA her dream have came through y'all will see go Angel Sky baby ❤

Pure guess, but NY at #11 needs a back up guard who can defend. Sabrina and Sloot got cooked on defense in each playoff series last season. Washington, Connecticut and Vegas attacked them darn near each time down the floor. Muhl will be able to provide much needed perimeter defense (along with Laney at the 3) and she can run the offense w/o demanding shots (NY has enough shooters/scorers).

Happy day for you

Reese may surprise people. She has just enough ego to do very well.

Sparks already have multiple posts that can stretch the floor that stand 6’4. The biggest issue with them from what I understand is rim protection. They can’t risk losing Cardoso to someone else. You get her at 2 or risk drafting a big that resembles the ones you already have. Also it’s hard for me to envision Brink being a rim protector at the professional level being so light in the pants and standing just 6’4 herself regardless of her college stats. If Brink can improve on her size and strength why didn’t she do it the last 4 years in college? She’s had the same build for 4 years. It’s a grown woman league and you need a grown woman in the paint now to help win now. It’s important to note that while there are some instances to the contrary professional sports organizations don’t develop talent it merely displays it.
