True, but being the crux of the offense (both in scoring and assists), Iowa didn't need Caitlyn to get herself into foul-trouble by being a defensive pest. She'll have the opportunity to do more defensively in the WNBA, and we'll see how she develops on that side of the court to be sure.
@@corvus1970exactly. She’ll be fine on defense. Her role on Bluder’s squad was scoring, that was the only way they were gonna win. Sagging and getting defensive rebounds to initiate breaks was crucial to that team’s success. Once she’s on a complete team and not asked to carry the offensive load her defense will automatically improve
To me, Angel Reese is the WBB version of Dennis Rodman. A tenacious rebounder that brings the drama, gets under the skin of her opponents and offers very little offense outside of the paint. No disrespect intended, Rodman was a critical piece for those Piston and Bulls teams. Like Rodman, she could benefit a team that already has plenty of scoring options if the drama can be managed. Maybe there's a Phil Jackson like coach in the WNBA who is up for the challenge.
Caitlins court vision and passing are my favourite things about her game style. I’m looking forward to seeing her passing skills in the WNBA as half the time her teammates would miss them in college. 😪
As a suuupa dupa casual women's hoop fan I was shocked to learn players make 0🚫 zilch ❌️ nada from jersey $ales. Just hope with all that Angel + Caitlin 💰 they fix the W..
The WNBA Needs to go to 14 players and then Needs to add at least 2 teams by 2026, with Clark, Paige, and JuJu. WNBA needs to capitalize on their transition.
This draft class needs2 be thanked and appreciated ive never been a fan but now were ever cardoso goes thats my team i knw this draft class will bring more eyes 2the wnba than ever b4
Facts. Yall would’ve had a better shot at beating the Aces with a little more defense. Yall have all of the offense on the world. Jones, Ionescu, Stewart, etc… do yall have a pick this year?
27:21 The WNBA needs more teams (18) Houston, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Memphis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Denver, Detroit, Utah, San Antonio, Portland, Charlotte, and Toronto want to bring a WNBA franchise to their cities…
@@MrDallasblk Angel McCoughtry WNBA Legend already suggested the location putting the W on notice and it makes sense. Ja Morant supports the WNBA and he actually shows up to the games court side it’s a no brainer 🤷🏾♂️📈
Great takes as always. The Do is on point! Looking fly! A couple of things. 1). CC and her defense will be non-issues. People never heard of Diana Taursi? She barely plays any defense and she has been in the W going on 21-22 seasons. CC will be okay. And the current coach or any further coach that doesn't play CC because she isn't playing "defense". That coach will be out of a job quick. 2). Rickea Jackson, to me, is going to be the steal of the draft. She plays like Tamekia Catchings (Lady Vols & Indiana Fever Legend). Rickea has that focus. She will be a force. 3). Nika Muhl. Another talented player. Whoever gets her is getting a force of a player. Her drive, discipline, and determination are what separates her from the other guards. She is tough. There are others in the draft as well like Nika. But I know if I am looking for a player that has that natural born leadership quality, Nika is my pick.
144 players are allowed in the WNBA. Some teams can’t afford to fill all those positions. For every incoming draftee someone has to go. Szinano was drafted last year and promptly cut because there was no opening for her.
WNBA need to open more roster spots. Most of these teams end up with hardships each year and getting a player overseas. Time to do at max 15 per team, and 13 minimum.
I also think that transferring that to a game is extremely difficult. Almost always a player will fall back to what feels natural. The game and muscle memory needs to be established at a young age.
I think Muhl might sneak into the 1st, #1 Defense, #2 her 3pt shot was 40.3% this year, #3 turnovers were down (29 less than last year), #4 Uconn players usually transition to WNBA well. #5 over all toughness mentality combined with lack of any significant injury history
This is off-topic, but have you ever been to a Chicago Blackhawks or Bears game. Great video as well, Quita. Aaliyah edwards doesn't have much to improve on. She will be fine.
quita, you just might get your wish! looks like the sky made moves to try to secure angel reese with the 7th pick. how much stock do you really put in the mock drafts? like, why would the sparks pick cameron brink over cardosa? cardosa is a big body that can out-rebound brink any day! itd be really fun if there was a little chaos with the picks this monday!
My favorite player to watch Alissa Pili who will not be in your picks tomorrow. I’m concerned teams won’t bite on Pili until the 2nd round or maybe 3rd. I don’t see a position for her for several reasons. I better be wrong. Second favorite player to watch is the great Charlisse Leger - Walker though I don’t know where her shot went.
I think one of the reason for Clark bad defense is because she is the only scorer on her team and she doesn't want to get foul trouble. I think if they had another solid scorer her defense would be better.
My hot take: The Sky draft Kamilla Cardoso at #3, and if Angel Reese is still there, grabbing her at #8 and Dana will still come off the bench behind Marina or Chennedy Carter.
Longtime Sky fan here. I got an even better hot take: Chicago stuns every1 & makes the playoffs behind the resurgence of Diamond DeShields & Chennedy Carter, aided by an all-star yr from Marina Mabrey & all-rookie team members Kamilla Cardoso & Angel Reese! I'm all in on T-Spoon coaching up these players & being a surprise team 🔥 #SkyTown 🔵🟡⚪️
@@nate9268 Last yr was against all odds. Everybody left except Kah, GM Wade pulls the trigger on an ill-advised Mabrey trade (a player I like don't love), early season-ending injuries 2 Gardner & Harrison, shockingly James Wade resigns mid-season, then Emre Vatansever steps in & does just enough 2 get us the 8-seed. The quote of the yr 4 me was James Wade 2 critics after the Mabrey trade, "I'm not f***ing planning on losing." 🤣😂
Quita...I love the let-down hairstyle... Here are my top 5 picks in the WNBA draft: I have...of course...Caitlin going #1, Kardoso #2, Reese # 3, Brink #4, Rickea Jackson #5 ... those are my top 5 picks I concur with your Quita...Kardoso will be relevant; if the WNBA teams shift to the NBA style of play because rebounds and block shots translates to the old school or the new school basketball. Besides with her speed and size you can always throw the ball down low to Kardoso in the paint-as SC proved-when you need a point, she will delivery because there aren’t too many post players that can match her size. And coming from SC monitoring of coach Dawn Staley...her post play will definitely translate to the W!
Her performance in the tournament should remove any doubt. Yes, SC played her tough and she scored less in the second half, but remember she had to play 40 minutes every game while being the primary ball handler. South Carolina just kept cycling players in and out. I don’t think a single player had more than 30 minutes.
Caitlin in Indiana is meant. As Cameron is perfect for L.A. and Sparks' new culture. As Rickea belongs with the Sky and their new culture. I hope nothing stupid happens...
@@MrDallasblk😂 Damn bro u must be plugged in heavy 👂🔌 This like the 3rd vid I've seen u comment on pushing Rickea 2 Dallas as a done deal 🤝👌🏾 Imma b looking 4 it Monday night 👀📺

First thing I noticed was the new hair style. It looks great Quita!! Keep up the great work you are doing with women's basketball.
Hey Quita. Loving your new look.
Thank you! 🤗
Quita - Your hair looks great! As much as I love watching CC play, you are right about her defense. Caitlin's defense leaves a lot to be desired.
Just follow Shaq, don't need to be a defensive stopper, just need to make timely stops.

If Reese is available at 5 Dallas should take her. If Edwards is a player I will take over Reese if available at 5.
I want to see Angel win in the league.
Kamilla Cardoso is my favorite player in the draft this year.
Same.
ROTY if Clark doesn’t for some reasons
Ur hair looks good Quita. Great in-depth content as always. I wish the best 4 all of the draftees on Monday night 🫶🏾
Like your hair and the segment ❤😅❤. Looking forward to Mom and both of your picks! 😄

Great breakdown of player weaknesses.
As always your videos are very informative what's the latest information congratulations on doing such a great job.

Coach Theresa Weatherspoon fits that criteria well, Sky #8 🤞🏼
she play defense just like rodman too
Jackson didnt keep rodman in line, Jordan did.

Caitlin is my fav, and she not only will start, she’ll average 18 and 8
Billy from fyre festival is selling tickets for the draft and dinner with Caitlin Clark for $25,000 and a get out of jail free card.
Cardoso misses some bunnies; true but her field goal percentage is great. Her numbers would be superhuman without the misses.
Too bad some these players might not see any WNBA action due to limited roster spots.
Yea that’s the bummer but, players can always go overseas and try again next season
I think that why the only invites 15 girls everybody else will get waived
@@LaniyabThe sad thing is, 4 or 5 of the draft invitees probably won't even make it 2 opening day 😔
Alexis Morris was invited last year and still got waived so…

I think it’s great that she’s working on her range
What about how low she shoots from?
I also think that transferring that to a game is extremely difficult. Almost always a player will fall back to what feels natural. The game and muscle memory needs to be established at a young age.
@@michaels.2331 The body adapts, it just takes a strong mind to keep the needle threaded..
@@michaels.2331Well considering everybody is gonna leave her wide-open, a lower release that goes in will have 2 do 4 now. Confidence is 🗝😃
I’m a Dallas fan and I want to see them come away with Reese and Jackson.
If a players get second n third round if they have another year in college can they just return to college
A player cannot return to college once they declare for the W.
I think Muhl might sneak into the 1st, #1 Defense, #2 her 3pt shot was 40.3% this year, #3 turnovers were down (29 less than last year), #4 Uconn players usually transition to WNBA well. #5 over all toughness mentality combined with lack of any significant injury history
Nah. She would be lucky to be first round. Her shot is slow, and that’s hard to change
I tend 2 agree since the guard depth in the draft took a hit w/ Paige, Amoore, Leger-Walker, etc. all staying in school.
I'm here for Clark...
She's one of the biggest draws in SPORTS history...
I like Brinks

12
If she's developed properly, I think she could be a spark plug or 6thWOTY type. Fit is crucial 4 her WNBA viability.
I think one of the reason for Clark bad defense is because she is the only scorer on her team and she doesn't want to get foul trouble. I think if they had another solid scorer her defense would be better.
Exactly. Most of Clark's flaws come down to needing to stay on the court or being tired. The defense will still need to improve.
