You need starter quality in the first

If she's your starter, you're in trouble

Saniya Rivers, Ashlee Barker or Joste Jocyte...gotta be 2 of the 3

Rivers can't shoot. She might have starter potential on defense but she's a liability on offense at this point. Chicago needs shooting and scoring from both picks or it's going to be the same problem they had last season.

Jocyte probably won't fall that low and I don't know if she's coming over this season.

Rivers can't shoot but she can facilitate and defend...you put two shooters on the perimeter like Barker or Jocyte or Sivka

Need two shooters at the G spots

Need a wing who can defend 1-3 that won't require a ton of shots = Rivers

WE NEED 3 SHOOTERS ON THE COURT
SINCE OUR 2 BEST PLAYERS ARE
NON SHOOTING BIGS.

MICHAELA BEGAN TO BLOSSOM
AS A STARTER LAST SEASON.

IM ROLLING WITH HER AT THE 3

This ain't the nba & Rivers is a SF and not a PG

You need shooters in the WNBA too. Rivers won't be guarded outside and defenses will dare her to shoot. That's making it harder on Angel and Cardoso to operate.

If you have Barker and Paopao (not saying she's the pick but any capable shooter) on the floor they have to cover them. You're not giving them uncontested 3's. The spacing they create is what you need for the post game to flourish.
