WNBA: Connecticut Sun need some Alyssa Thomas energy out of draft

Photo by Stephen Gosling/NBAE via Getty Images The Connecticut Sun posted three 20-win seasons in a row before going 10-12 in 2020, but even then they made it to the WNBA Semifinals. They have had a lot of success lately, but will be tested this year without one of their star players in Alyssa Thomas, who is out with a torn Achilles. Picks: 20, 21, 30 Needs: true 2 and/or someone with similar skills to Alyssa Thomas The Sun have six players signed to training camp contracts and just seven under contract so all three of their picks could potentially compete in camp. When you look at their core, you see the versatility of DeWanna Bonner and Jonquel Jones, who can both play 3 through 5. Then there’s Brionna Jones as a 4-5 and two point guards in Jasmine Thomas and Briann January. Their sixth and final lock (with Alyssa Thomas injured) in Kaila Charles actually could fit what they may be looking for in the draft: a 2-3.

WNBA mock draft 2021, version 4 0 - Arizona guard Aari McDonald jumps into top five

Now that the 2020-21 women s college basketball season is over, we finally know which players will be available for the April 15 WNBA draft. With the NCAA s blanket eligibility waiver due to the coronavirus pandemic, seniors are able to return for another season, and some players who earlier were on our draft board opted to do that. Among the prominent draft-eligible juniors, one of our projected first-round picks UConn s Evina Westbrook is also remaining in college for 2021-22. WNBA coaches and general managers use the NCAA tournament for evaluation, and sometimes it can boost a player s stock. Arizona s Aari McDonald, for instance, started at No. 2 in our first mock draft last December, then dropped to No. 8. Her March Madness success has her back in the top five.

Picks for all 63 women s NCAA Tournament games

The women’s NCAA Tournament field is set and now the fun begins with 64 teams descending on the San Antonio region for the event that was canceled in 2020. This will be a tournament like no other, with every game played on neutral courts and teams that make the Final Four having to basically live out of a hotel room for three weeks. Here’s a look at what could happen over the next few weeks in tournament brackets. There are a couple of rules to live by: CHALK RULES: A No. 1 seed has won the national championship the past eight tournaments and 12 of 13. The only time that didn’t happen was 2011 when Gary Blair led Texas A&M to the title as a two seed. Also since 2005, at least two of the No. 1s have made the Final Four every year except for 2016.
