It doesn’t help that VanDerveer never gives Belibi a consistent role. Sometimes she comes off the bench, sometimes she starts, sometimes she plays 30 minutes, sometimes just five.
Maybe more importantly, she has no shooting skill either – but, she’s ultra-athletic. There’s a chance she could make it work as an energy-bringing undersized post in the W, but I’d be skeptical of her ability to statistically produce.
Really? I like Boston a lot. After that? Jones can't shoot a lick, Owusu is a 40% shooter who looks like she will struggle to guard anyone, and though it's likely one or two of the others will emerge as solid players, I don't see any all-stars there.
I see Cooke and Miller as solid WNBA players. Ayoka Lee will succeed if under the right coach. Bueckers entering will change things. Also like Tamari Key from Tennessee. Thinking she'll shape up as a solid post on the right team.
Zia Cooke, an average-sized true SG, is shooting 35% FG and below 30% from 3 – despite being surrounded by so much talent. Unless she completely turns those numbers around as a senior, no GM will want to use a high pick (or maybe any pick) on her.

If someone selects Evina Westbrick, then teams will be drafting Cooke who is more athletic than her and better than her.

😂You're right, I shouldn't imply that Cooke is so bad that she may go undrafted. With her SoCar pedigree, she won't; likewise, neither will Westbrook, just because she went to UConn (and Tennessee 😜).
Hard to actually make it in the W as a lead/off-guard if you can't shoot though.
I still think Bueckers is better than Clark defensively, but Clark seems to have the edge on Bueckers with both scoring ability and overall durability at this point.
It'd be crazy if Bueckers went #1 overall in 2023 and Clark went #1 overall in 2024 – to the same team. 👀
