After an underwhelming 2019 season and absence-, illness- and injury-plagued 2020 season, the Atlanta Dream secured the third pick in the 2021 WNBA Draft.
As Atlanta is in win-now mode — not only adding Cheyenne Parker, Tianna Hawkins and Odyssey Sims in free agency but also welcoming back Tiffany Hayes — this should be their last lottery pick for a while. With this in mind, the Dream brass of president and general manager Chris Sienko, director of basketball operations Brooklyn Cartwright and head coach Nicki Collen should prioritize adding a player who can emerge as a longterm co-star alongside Chennedy Carter, the No. 3 pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft.
