Ignoring those who want to stir things up.
I think the tactic of using every choice to go after the highest shooting percentage player available at that pick shows that Dallas ID'd their #1 need. They're now hoping that at least one of those players makes the roster and can help improve the team shooting percentage, which is a laudable goal.
Any team that has Arike Ogunbowale as their highest scorer is going to need to surround her with players that hit at a higher percentage than Arike does.

Thanks richy I went to sleep after that trade never cared to get details . Either way I want 2025 first round back as well. Ship collier off if a suitor has finally warmed up to her *cough cough Reeve* as the past attempts say otherwise. |
I'm not as worried about it as everyone else seems to be because think about how much of that talent will be hitting the waiver wire due to the sheer number of them coming out and other roster issues some teams will have moreso than they do now!!!

Hey Bibb watch the first 12 mins of this Video Angel Reese and Flaujae both named our team as a place they want to be drafted too. Get that damn 2024 pick back asap!! Angel also states she will be at the draft next year most likely around the 19:45 mark. She’s eligible even though LSU tried to call her a sophomore this year smh as Angel correct at the the 56:55 min mark “she’s about to be a senior” Same as Olivia miles but with her injury she may just exhaust her time at ND.

Roster Prediction:
1. Arike
2. T-Mac
3. Sabally
4. Burton
5. Howard
6. DeShields
7. Siegrist
8. K. Brown
9. K. Laksa
10. Lou Lopez Senechal
11. A. Meyers
12. Kuier/Joens

you're too late, the tweet that said that AO via her IG story also openly noticed the perceived whitewashing of the Wings' roster has already been deleted
gotta be here on Draft Night next time
(well, for Wings fans... perhaps it was simply better to be absent)

If she wants out like the ones before her, I hope she does it sooner rather than later...won't lose any sleep!!!

| Isn't their existing roster all black? so if two or even three of these whities make the roster it's not like it will suddenly become a 'white' team. So what's the big deal? Making everything about race is really unfortunate.

Would not surprise me if Lopez - Senechal & Meyers are the first to be cut , I think Collier's "potential" has finally ran its course and shes replaced by Big foot Lonnie , 2 Gojiras breaking hardwood in dallas this season is likely. JD sticks she's showing improvement after not seeing a tick or anything last season for us. #Dickey showing promise if the first preaseason game means anything with all these assumptions above from me lol sorry for the rant guys. Look out for cuts very soon.

One more thing ...
If the first pre-season game is any indication , im liking how the team is focused on getting the ball inside to McCowan first and working off her . Arike and T had great chemistry that first preseason game. Dangerfield and Howard played great as well . Sabally needs to be our 6th man . The defense will get better as Natasha is like a glove all over the court with T anchoring the rim and Burty hounding the perimeter . I like the makings of the team if we can all play as a unit. Deshields is the perfect wing along side arike as well. Im not sure who's faster with the ball in their hands. I REALLY liked the big line up that started the comeback of
Arike
Satou
Awak
Natasha
McCowan
That's alot of length and it made it difficult for chicago to get those easy midrange jumpers that they were hitting the first 3 quarters.

| The GM who's consistently rated his own choices higher than anyone else around the league is going to cut the player he took #5 overall barely a month ago? Unless she has a debilitating injury, that doesn't seem likely to me. At a bare minimum, surely they could get a second-rounder for her from some team with roster spots to burn like Phoenix or Seattle. |

WHOA, WHOA....WHOOOOOA! You are definitely trying to raise my blood pressure this morning 😆😆😆! Lou Lopez Senechal is NOT going anywhere, Bibb has made it crystal clear that he has followed her as long as he can remember and stated she was a "main" priority in this past draft and her recovery from her injury has no bearing on her roster spot because she is guaranteed to have one...just likes Soares!
Ok, now you can go back to your rant...as you called it.
Still love you thou WNBA09😂😂😂😂

| Lopez sat on the bench the entire game which is the only reason I predict her on the chomping block . Unless she’s injured or missed time to possibly graduation the only rookies to make even somewhat an impact the first game were Siegrest with a nice and one fade away on copper and joens ran the floor pretty hard. We have literally 3 first round picks playing for 2 spots not including joens who I think looked the most pro ready outside of Maddy in game one . Meyers had a shot or two but just did not look like a W player to me.

Since when does pick # matter in this league lol ? You can be a #2/3/7 and lose your job in training camp 🥴

| What's everyone's opinion on Abby Meyers ? Do you think she has any change to make any WNBA team, if she gets cut from Dallas ? Thx.

Top-five picks don't get cut in their rookie season. Pick # matters for plenty in this league. Charli Collier, just to pick a random example, wouldn't still be drawing a paycheck after two years of doing sweet FA if she'd been taken at #25. Or at #8, probably. |

They basically have 2 spots available assuming Maddy & Lou are safe and I don't think there's anyway either are cut this season.
5th post comes down to either Collier or Brown unless they can swing a trade w/NY for Sabally or Kone.
Last roster spot comes down to Meyers, Dickey, or Joens.
