Does today's trade make it more likely that Charlotte takes McCarville with the #1 pick? Tan & TSB aren't what you would call "enforcers," seems to me the Sting still need a frontcourt player with a little "thug" in her(no offense Gopher fans!) |

I still think Trudi Lacey will go for McCarville #1, and I still think it's a poor choice.

I have to wonder if Charlotte will keep the pick. Clearly, the team has filled some needs this offseason. They have players locked into long-term deals (e.g., Sam). While I really like Tynesha Lewis, can she replace Dawn Staley full-time? Maybe Charlotte should trade the pick for some consideration in 2006.
Alternatively, you have to wonder if Charlotte could trade down in this draft to fill a need. Shereka Wright and #3 for #1? It gives Charlotte an athletic slasher in the backcourt, something the team currently lacks.

If that were to happen, who would Phoenix take? McCarville? Irvin? If Kamila's on the team, I'd go with Irvin.

Bingo! I think they'll trade the pick, but I'm not sure that trade works for what Charlotte needs. Seems to me they need a defensive stopper wing/guard combo player if Sam and Feaster are going to play those positions.
Maybe a trade a little lower with a more quality veteran and a draft of T.Wright? Say to #7-10?

I am beyond not sold on Shereka Wright and feal she is not worth moving down in the draft. I would be happier if they got Tamara Moore and the #3 for the #1 since you were talking about taking over for Staley full time.
A recent thought I had is that maybe a good signing for them would be Niele Ivey who is a lot like Staley. Staley is generally a bit quicker than Ivey, but Ivey has a lot of the floor general skills Staley had in terms of keeping good care of the ball and distributing. She doesn't have the respect Staley has, but I think that if Staley could help mold Niele into a more pro-active PG with a little more fire, she could certainly become a nice replacement for Staley. I say this every time - she has great handles, good basketball sense, doesn't turn the ball over, and drains the three.
Yeah, I love Niele - big whoop, wanna fight about it?!

VeProf - this is not a trade rumour. Learn to read, you fool. |

I was able to eavesdrop a bit on Lin Dunn and Carrie Graf's conversation at the Big 10 Tourney yesterday.
Look for the Fever to take the "most athletic post player" in the draft.

Well...I guess the Fever won't be taking McCarville. I expect to hear either:
...and with the second pick of the 2005 WNBA Draft, the Indiana Fever select Sandora Irvin of Texas Christian University
or
...and with the second pick of the 2005 WNBA Draft, the Indiana Fever select Jacqueline Batteast of Notre Dame.

You never know with the Fever.
I've learned not to get my hopes up.

I can't see the fever taking McCarville because they have Ebony Hoffman.
She may just fall to the Merc, but will they take her if they Sign Kamilla?

I have to be honest...I don't want Janel to be taken by the Mercury. I think she's a wonderful player, but I see her more on an East Coast team than a West Coast team. Like Cam has said, Monique would probably be taken above either Sandora or Janel if she was available.

Batteast going to the Fever sounds like a strong possibility.
As for Janel and Kamila, maybe a trade is in the works? No insider info here, just random speculation (fancy that ) |

I'll admit I've not seen enough of Hoffman but from what I've seen, I'd rather take my chances w/J-Mac. J-Mac maybe a rookie but Hoffman really needs to step up her gm.
Well, here's a question for Fever fans:
Would you rather have Ebony Hoffman or Janel McCarville ?

If you asked me that a couple months ago I'd give Janel a try.
However, I recently saw Ebony play a couple games in Naperville (vs Ruth Riley and the Colorado Chill) and she's more offensive minded now - like she was @ USC.
From what I've heard she's been hangin' w/ Tamika a lot in the off-season.
I'll keep Ebony.

I'm sort of "down for whatever " with the Fever this draft. I think Tully and the Euro post were good additions. I'll just wait and see and hope my team does well.

I would take McCarville over Ebony...at least until Ebony gives up KFC and gets herself to Curves (to quote Bluewolf). And even then, I would take McCarville.
