Dallas Wings
Second round: Dana Evans (No. 13)
Grade: A-plus
The Dallas Wings and their fans should be soaring! With the first two picks in the 2021 draft, the Wings selected two potentially-generational bigs in Charli Collier and Awak Kuier.
Compared to the last big who went No. 1 in the draft — A’ja Wilson (2018) — Collier is not a surefire superstar. She notably struggled against higher-level competition in college. Yet, the potential is certainly there. Such potential might be there even more for Kuier, a 19-year-old who plays with enviable fluidity and poise. Sacrificing Katie Lou Samuelson in order to be able to acquire both Collier and Kueir, rather than having to settle for one of the two, was an absolute win.
