I really hope Indiana reaches for one of the forwards, because I don’t want to see Amber Stocks’s head explode in real time if her choices are the player who wouldn’t listen to Geno or the player who bailed on Tennessee. Or both.
And I still don’t think the Liberty are picking a foreign player. How much investment in the future can you do when you don’t know what your future is?
True. I heard they are very interested in Ariel Atkins. But, so much could change. Your right in a sense of both Stevens and DeShields history, but I like to believe maybe a fresh new start helps. I will monitor them closely however.
You did a great job picking the first round
All your picks but one went in the first round. Do you think the Sky will regret not taking Stevens instead of WILLIAMS? I do.
I don’t think so. I think Coach Stocks really liked Gabby Williams defensive identity more so than Azura Stevens upside.
