for people who were rooting for the Sky to make it into the playoffs over the Sparks, a reminder that the #1 pick is now more likely to go to either Phoenix or LA (45% chance combined) than Indiana (44% chance).
I wonder if Clark, Reese, Bueckers... entering for 2024 will depend who gets the #1 pick. Aliyah Boston improved Indiana but their fan base is still horrendous. The chance to play a season with Griner and Taurasi might be too tempting to pass on if Phoenix gets the #1 pick.
considering Indiana just got a #1 pick and the other three lotto teams have had more than their fair share of #1 picks, i don’t blame anyone for not being thrilled about where the #1 pick lands regardless of who has it. probably how i’d feel if i weren’t a Storm fan.
the Indiana fans hopefully will come back once the team gets good. especially if they secure the #1 pick, we could see that happen next year.
