…are they taking Brink because none of Clark, Bueckers, or Miles will be turning pro yet in this scenario?
Yes. Out of her, Bueckers, Clark and Reese, Brink seems the most likely to enter in 2024.
i would then highly consider trading down ever so slightly if i were the Fever. i just think Brink & Boston would be too similar to truly coexist, and i don’t see them trying NSmith at the 3 since they never tried it when they had her, Boston, and Egbo.
although, i remain unconvinced NSmith will still be on the Fever when her rookie contract is up. i think she may want out eventually.
Zahui B.'s washed, and Saxton will never become anything in this league. at least cut them before their contracts get guaranteed – the season's midpoint is coming up very soon. re-sign them to 7-dayers if you'd like to give 'em a chance during NSmith's absence, while still keeping all your options open.
