I've been saying this forever. Paige Buekers has to many injury concerns to pick number one. Especially since it looks like there are 2 or 3 players that are as good or better with no injury concerns.
Agree, the WNBA is rougher play. If she is treated like CC her career will be short. That first year is tough, straight from college season to pro season, she might not last the first year. Not that it matters what I think, but if it was me, I wouldn't take her first.
@ Olivia Miles is the only player who may go above her in the draft. If you are saying Iriafen or Morrow are better then you don’t know basketball. You probably also thought Angel was better than Clark huh?
Kiki Iriafen is way overrated. Some fans tried to imply she was better than Brink last year, not accounting for Brink's defense. Kiki may have averaged slightly more points, but Brink playing FEWER minutes averaged more rebounds, blocks, steals and assists than Iriafen.
Cc is aggressive that’s why. Name 2 other players that got flagrant fouled more than once. I bet you can’t. You convinced yourself that’ only Cc got fouled when even Angel got body slammed by AT and again by
Would she be a happy camper in Seattle? The major difference between Seattle and LA is the size of the market, which is even smaller than Dallas, but otherwise Washington has a relatively good track record in women's rights.
@@A350Airways Seattle has the brand new facilities, her teammate and friend Nika muhl is there and I was also thinking about the UConn connection with part owner sue bird who she is also friends with… and I think Seattle is a little more hip to young people than Dallas. It’s one of the coolest cities in the summertime when they play.
this is similar to Aja being selected MVP before season started, lots of NEW players that are excelling and deserve the #1 spot, is it because she is a UCONN special baby?
I’m thinking the Fever should really consider taking Maddy Westbeld at 8. I’ve been watching her at ND since she came back and she is shooting very well from all around the floor and is getting rebounds. I do get the argument about lack of defense though.
She would be (at least) a top 3 pick but she’s not eligible for the draft this year. She probably goes 1st next year. Unless that team really needs a guard- then it will likely be Flau’jae.
If she's not picked at #1 the LA Sparks should fire their entire front office. They traded away #2 because they just knew Paige would go at 1. They need a point guard not a Kelsey Plum.
How dare you try and vindicate Sedona princes SA of that girl and all she did with kidnapping her to Britney Griners situation wow your a real piece of work man 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I love Morrow and I think she’s better than Kiki but Chicago already lacks shooting. You think they should draft 3 post players (who can’t shoot) in back to back drafts? It makes 0 sense. If they got rid of Cardoso then maybe I’d understand it but trading her would take away their size advantage. Angel is a good defender but she is not a rim protector. She will have a long season if she has to exclusively guard 5’s. Cam Brink was a much better rim protector in college and the Sparks have no interest in playing her at the 5. Like others have mentioned, the GM has said they want a tall, athletic guard who can play defense and spread the floor. Citron is a better fit, even if Morrow is the better player in my opinion.
Fever need to draft sarah ashley from alabama elite for the culture and will be an elite rim runner with clark with the defense they desperately need at the 4 and can shoot the 3 perfect fever player
What’s going on with the fever all the big time free agents are dropping off the board ? How can they get better with the same team or maybe even a less team without Mitchell?
Beck is destined to be number one regardless, as she is the best player to emerge from high school and was Caitlin's rival for a time However, she has been injury-prone and has not met expectations, despite teaming up with All-Americans and being coached by an incompetent and imbecile coach. Thus, she has made a name for herself, whether for better or worse.
@ apparently her girlfriend put out a TikToc chronicling a pattern of domestic abuse, then there was the outrage resulting in a petition to have her kicked off the team.
Paige is playing in a system at Uconn. She has every tool needed and more when she gets to the W she will be a different player. She has better all around skills than any player entering the draft maybe ever.
Yea right, Jackie Stiles, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Caitlin Clark, Elena Della Donne hands down better players. Paige's playing skills are at the same level they were when she was a senior in high school.
The W is not looking at 5'6" guards anymore, look at the guard from Syracuse Vegas drafted last year, she was cut and she was a great performer in college. New York will take Westbeld at 7. I feel Chicago may take Sellers at the 3 spot and Washington takes Citron at the 4 spot. Citron will not be available after the 4 spot guarantee that.
Couldn’t even say anything nice about paige for 30 seconds without backhand hatred 😂 smh wtf has Bueckers done to you man geez Beuckers is a franchise player and her being passive will be fine for Dallas Arike won’t pass up the shots 😂😂
It is more easily to the Seattle if Paige well be the second pick. But some rumours that Olivia she have second thought if she we back in one year in college or draft pick to this year.
Paige is a franchise player. UConn' Swin Cash is a Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, and she is or was not the skill level player that Paige is right now.
Honestly that's fine, get Laney + 7th Pick + Future 1st for Satou and get it over with. Draft Morrow with that pick, and try to rebuild the Wings defensive identity under Chris Koclanes with Laney & Morrow.
All of these mass-media takes on the WNBA draft are always so wrong. They don't do actual analysis, nor do they understand the actual constraints certain players are under. It's comical.
Paige is what this year? I see so many more podcasters and youtubers doing content on everyone else but Paige. She has never broken a NCAA record she is not in the top 10 or 20 of almost any all time lists in the NCAA. She has not even been the best player in her conference or even her team. She will go # 1 because people say she is # 1 and that and the feeling she will bring people to see her they can not even fill other arenas when UCONN play? Why is she #1 because she went to a failing UCONN program?
There's almost no one from a powerhouse school anywhere near the top of any all-time lists. The thing about playing on a stacked team is that you don't have to carry that team every single game for 4 straight years.
If I'm chicago im trading reese and drafting Malonga. Malonga is light years a better prospect than Citron and without chennedy carter u not gon win anything so I'd take the potential and build for the future.
Paige is BOX OFFICE! Her value to sell tickets and merch alone is high, but also she is a WNBA press favorite and a PR dream! Teams are businesses and need to make revenue! Paige is MONEY!

Who are the 2 or 3 players? And she hasn’t gotten hurt in 2 years now
@@HeyCross-ss3wv She got hurt already this year. If I have to tell you the players that are better than her, then you aren't worth talking to.
@ Olivia Miles is the only player who may go above her in the draft. If you are saying Iriafen or Morrow are better then you don’t know basketball. You probably also thought Angel was better than Clark huh?
@@MaxxZimonick she had a sprained knee from where the other teams player rolled on her leg, she's fine !!!!!
Every time this guy says THERES NO WAY OR THERES ZERO PERCENT CHANCE it happens guys 😂 he has no clue ❤
Kiki Iriafen is way overrated. Some fans tried to imply she was better than Brink last year, not accounting for Brink's defense. Kiki may have averaged slightly more points, but Brink playing FEWER minutes averaged more rebounds, blocks, steals and assists than Iriafen.
I have $50 she isn’t the leading scorer or rebounder. And won’t get beat up like CC did.
Cc is aggressive that’s why. Name 2 other players that got flagrant fouled more than once. I bet you can’t. You convinced yourself that’ only Cc got fouled when even Angel got body slammed by AT and again by
I have this weird feeling Paige is going to Seattle.
She will be lucky if she's picked in the top 5. You don't even know who's officially declared for the draft
She will so call UConn connection
Would she be a happy camper in Seattle? The major difference between Seattle and LA is the size of the market, which is even smaller than Dallas, but otherwise Washington has a relatively good track record in women's rights.

I feel New York will take her at 7.
She probably regrets trying to tank for LA 😅
Betts should easily be top 5 pick. She is by far the most dominant player in the draft.
She would be (at least) a top 3 pick but she’s not eligible for the draft this year. She probably goes 1st next year. Unless that team really needs a guard- then it will likely be Flau’jae.
@ I agree. I missed she was a junior but that makes sense why she’s not in the conversation.
Paige, away from Geno will be incredible. Pure baller. She just needs the green light to play her game.
Who is more likely to give said green light, Dallas or Seattle?
Geno is 100% her biggest problem. Spot on.
Why not talk about it with Sedona Prince ? If it was Chennedy Carter or Angel reese the whole video would be about it 😂
If she's not picked at #1 the LA Sparks should fire their entire front office. They traded away #2 because they just knew Paige would go at 1. They need a point guard not a Kelsey Plum.
I agree she needs to build her game, but I think they view Paige like she has a franchise fan base
How dare you try and vindicate Sedona princes SA of that girl and all she did with kidnapping her to Britney Griners situation wow your a real piece of work man 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Fever should pick up Sedona Prince with their second-round pick
Citron 3rd is crazy , Sky drafting Morrow before Citron for sure
The GM said he wants a 6ft 1 3pt shooting wing with the lottery pick. They are not drafting Morrow when they need 3pt shooting lol.
I love Morrow and I think she’s better than Kiki but Chicago already lacks shooting. You think they should draft 3 post players (who can’t shoot) in back to back drafts? It makes 0 sense.
If they got rid of Cardoso then maybe I’d understand it but trading her would take away their size advantage. Angel is a good defender but she is not a rim protector.

Why not Olivia to Wings?? She’s used to playing with great SG and Paige has all those newbies to help take load off her
No Reese news? Must be a slow day in news
Olivia should come back. Make more in college.
Fever need to draft sarah ashley from alabama elite for the culture and will be an elite rim runner with clark with the defense they desperately need at the 4 and can shoot the 3 perfect fever player
The mystics with Shyanne sellers as their pg is a terrible idea she would be Atkins backup not the lead guard of a wnba team worthy imo
What’s going on with the fever all the big time free agents are dropping off the board ? How can they get better with the same team or maybe even a less team without Mitchell?

I LA already got Kelsey plum and Rikea Jackson unless they run the triangle 🔺️ offense
Can someone explain to me how exactly the college players get ranked. What is it based on
Betts if she declares is the number 1 pick. She's the most dominant player in the nation. Paige is overrated.
@@lisareynolds9799 ok I thought she was a senior. Much appreciated
They like Kiki because she can barely dunk when no one is guarding her
Paige is fourth best in the nation right now. She's behind...
Hildago
Watkins
Miles
Paige
The draft, Miles SHOULD go #1
You're delusional or know nothing about basketball if you don't include Betts.
@@ranhill62 I agree. Sellers is pretty good as well
Why afraid to talk about Sedona Prince controversy? Allegations of abuse are a legitimate concern
Pls elaborate.
@ apparently her girlfriend put out a TikToc chronicling a pattern of domestic abuse, then there was the outrage resulting in a petition to have her kicked off the team.
Like Geno said she not build for the W
Chicago Sky won the draft last year won’t mean much 😂
I really hope you're right that Miles doesn't come out. That's the only way the Sparks trade could be bearable.
Her own coach said she’s not built for the W, I want to see her in the W just to see if he was right.
Paige is playing in a system at Uconn. She has every tool needed and more when she gets to the W she will be a different player. She has better all around skills than any player entering the draft maybe ever.
LOL
Yea right, Jackie Stiles, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Caitlin Clark, Elena Della Donne hands down better players. Paige's playing skills are at the same level they were when she was a senior in high school.
Holy cow!!! That is a delusional comment. Absolutely laughable. She's one injury away from a wheelchair.
@@lisareynolds9799 If Paige is better then Jackie Stiles then why hasn't she beaten Jackie Stiles scoring record.
You people are all going to feel stupid soon enough. Basketball isn't all about scoring.
The W is not looking at 5'6" guards anymore, look at the guard from Syracuse Vegas drafted last year, she was cut and she was a great performer in college. New York will take Westbeld at 7. I feel Chicago may take Sellers at the 3 spot and Washington takes Citron at the 4 spot. Citron will not be available after the 4 spot guarantee that.
Sounds like seatle is going to get dominic malonga at 2 core gabby and take on Janelle
Couldn’t even say anything nice about paige for 30 seconds without backhand hatred 😂 smh wtf has Bueckers done to you man geez Beuckers is a franchise player and her being passive will be fine for Dallas Arike won’t pass up the shots 😂😂
Who said Malonga was not coming over ? Or are you doing that personal made up assumption ramble thing again?
His entire TH-cam channel is doing that personal made up assumption ramble thing
It is more easily to the Seattle if Paige well be the second pick. But some rumours that Olivia she have second thought if she we back in one year in college or draft pick to this year.
Nothing written yet. Paige based on tickets sold. Flau'Jae would be the number 1 if she came out.
Hidalgo is 1 Buekers is maybe top 5...
Paige is a franchise player. UConn' Swin Cash is a Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, and she is or was not the skill level player that Paige is right now.
Every Coach loves efficiency. Paige #1. Bank on it.
New york not picking 7th, that will be Dallas pick.
Honestly that's fine, get Laney + 7th Pick + Future 1st for Satou and get it over with. Draft Morrow with that pick, and try to rebuild the Wings defensive identity under Chris Koclanes with Laney & Morrow.

@ nah dude, even if Paige doesn’t play a single game no more, she’s still going no1. That’s just how it’s been played..

Paige will be the #1 draft pick for political reasons.
PhB is going back to college to get her basketball medical degree.
Paige is BOX OFFICE! Her value to sell tickets and merch alone is high, but also she is a WNBA press favorite and a PR dream! Teams are businesses and need to make revenue! Paige is MONEY!
Meh!
Sky should trade the #3 pick for Lexie Hull
Never going to happen i would not swap Hull for a 1st rnd pick ever
Paige Bueckers is probably going to SEATTLE !
Paige Beuckers is going to the Aces as no. 2 pick. Unless they trade it with another team.
No.2 pick belong to Seattle!!!
You know what could change nothing ? Whoever takes draft bust Paige … but mick says she was good in high school 😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️
