A Karmilla-Azura-Rickea frontline is intriguing bc of the spacing (Azura being a floor spacer, Rickea operating in the mid-range, and Karmilla on the baseline and block)
If I'm Chicargo, I draft Jaquez at 5...don't overthink it

Lynx front office on vacation or something?

Why keep Arike if Fudd is the pick?

Bc Dallas is running a 3 G lineup
I really don't think ppl watch enough Liv...she can score some, she can pass, she can rebound but she won't be a 3pt threat and she's not a good defender...if she was an Azzi-level defender, she would be a clear top 2 pick

Yea but how much burn will Liv get with arike there?
I want Liv in Seattle where she gets pt and the ball in her hands

Seattle is the best destination for her
They have a clear need at G
1 - Azzi
2 - Awa
3 - Liv
4 - Betts
Liv would be the starting PG for Dallas. They don't have a PG on the team just a bunch of scoring guards. They need a distributor.
Liv works in Seattle. I just want to see her on a talent with talent and they're looking towards next year's draft.

Paige was top 10 in the league in dimes as a rook
And she played with inefficient Arike and players who couldn't finish...

Explain how Azz and Arike works?
Paige can defend twos and threes defensively
Azzi can defend ones, twos and some threes
Alanna nor Shep can space the floor so you will need spacing around them
There's no SF worth taking at 1....so you have to run the 3 guard lineup, where Paige at 6 ft defends SFs on def
Paige been lifting this offseason...she's gonna snap next season

arike still in dallas?
I'm talking about offense. Arike was barely a fit with Paige and adding Azzi does nothing to improve that.
Alanna and Shep aren't scorers so Liv will get them easy baskets. Azzi providing spacing isn't doing that. They don't just need room to operate they need a PG who can drive and dish.

Paige can work with anybody, but you literally need a high-level 3&D player to make Arike more effective bc she is not an impact defender
Liv does not give you 3&D...she is a ball dominant G that will work better running P&R w/ Malonga in Seattle
Offensively, Paige & Azzi are a cleaner fit...I think Azzi and Arike's mins can be staggered too
The league is going in the direction of the NBA, pace & space
The underrated move dallas made was getting Tash Howard back and convincing Awak to play there
The goalposts moved now that Dallas doesn't need a big
I think their lineups have real flexibility with Maddy being able to play as a big 3 and small 4 when needed
Aziaha can be the backup 2/3, Quinnerly is your backup PG
I really like what Dallas is doing, and besides a generational SF, the next best thing in this draft for them is Azzi
It just doesn't make sense having 3 ball dominant guards in the lineup...you can only have 2 at the most, and Azzi is comfortable moving without the ball.,..much cleaner fit
