Paige Bueckers won the title of ncaa with Uconne April 6 has barely ceased to move since: from a talk show to accompaniment to the Sunday championship parade in Hartford, Connecticut. Monday will mean its greatest moment from lifting the trophy of the National Championship because it is expected to be selected No. 1 in the WNBA proposal from Dallas Wings.
“It was crazy – a lot of celebrations, very reflecting,” Bueckers said in a recent media video call. “Then have this transition to my next phase, WNBA, so you really stay present in what you do.”
Bueckers is one of 16 players invited to New York on a proposal (19:30 et, ESPN). How about Bueckers, how could the rest of the 38-ranking concept go? Here are some of the biggest questions heading by Monday evening.
Which player will be Seattle Storm Select on No. 2?
Kevin Pelton: Intelligent money is at the French center Dominique Malonga. The WNBA scouts are high at a 19 -year -old, which on 18.5 points and 11.0 rebounds for the ASvel in Eurocup against WNBA players. On 6 feet-6, Malonga does not fulfill the need as Virgin Mary watch Sonia lemon would be for a storm that landed on selection No. 2 as part of a shop with a shop Jewell loyd to LAS Vegas Aces. But with a unique opportunity to add star talent – with the highest selection since Breanna Stewart No. 1 – Seattle will probably prefer the best available player in 2016.
Second Snells: Malonga is the most likely selection, but not a lemon discount. It has the size, shooting and defensive versatility to quickly evolve on the WNBA impact guard. Storm has the core of the rival team as soon as they improve their guard game this season, and lemon could be a big help on this front for the team that is already projecting an elite interior game Good manifer and Hoding toys.
Michael Voepel: The size of Malongy, youth and potential is likely to make it too valuable for the storm to go through. They had a similar success who accepted the Australian Maginor in 2019 as a 19 -year -old.

Aneesah Morrowova 30-point, 19-Dediced double double Powers LSU to ELITE EIGHT
Aneesah Morrow score 30 points and grabs 19 rebounds in dominant double performance to drive LSU to Eight.
If Paige Bueckers doesn’t win Rookie of the Year WNBA, who will be?
Charlie Creme: Lsu Aneesah Morow. In terms of Washington mystics or Golden State Vallkyries In tips 3 to 6, Morrow gets a lot of playing time and opportunity to set solid numbers, even if they don’t necessarily come effectively. It is undersized for 6-1, but reflective instincts and tireless persecution of the ball, which defined Morrow’s university career, will not disappear because the competition is better. Morrow will not have a double couple in 83% of their games, as this season at LSU, but in this category all newcomers will lead.

36-point game Kiki Iriafen helps USC to Sweet 16
Kiki Iriafen ends with 36 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks when USC beats Mississippi State.
Eric Moody: USC Kiki Iriafen. It’s a future star. Iriafen, known for her feet, after scoring and defense, after an injury to the ACL Juju Watkins approached the USC. In her first season with Trojan wheels after three years in Stanford Iriafen average 18.0 points and 8.4 rebounds, shooting 49% of the field. The unanimous selection of the first All-Big Ten team, as well as AP AP All-American third team, led the USC to the Big Ten and Eight. Iriafen’s universal, two-way play-remembered A’ja wilson and Breanna Stewart – makes her a strong candidate for a newcomer of the year, especially if he lands with a team like Washington Mystics.
Which team selection (s) are you most interested in watching?
Moody: The Connecticut Sun. The sun hit the button to rebuild this offseason and after six consecutive years it reached the WNBA semifinals or better, including two trips to the finals. Connecticut would be wise to consider adding a point guard with one of his backsprints in No. 7 and 8 in the first round-some who could build around. Georgia amoore would be an excellent accessory. The former Kentucky guard is a great decision-making manufacturer on the pitch and stands out in the pick-and-Roll.
VoEPEL: Mystics With selection No. 3, 4 and 6 in the first round Mystics have a chance to get three very different types of players. The franchise has a new lead after 12 seasons under Mike Thibault as the CEO (he was also a coach for 10 years). We will look at the decision -making of GM Jamil Wideman and coach Sydney Johnson. In addition, what Mystics do with half of the top six selections will have a big impact on the rest of the first round.
Which team has the potential to win a proposal?
Moody: Mystics. Washington cleaned the house with this offseason with a new coach and CEO and has the opportunity to transform his list. With the former MVP Elena delle Donne retired, these 3, 4 and 6 tips are valuable, the IS of the best prospects that decided to return to school. While the championship does not have to be at an almost horizon for mystic, it is an still exciting place to land for the development of players to create a list and get a place in the rotation when Washington works to rebuild back to the applicant for the championship.
VoEPEL: Dallas Wings. In Bueckers they will receive a Guard changing franchise with the highest public profile of anyone in the proposal. Then on site 12 in the first round and second in the second round (No. 14) there will still be players who could have an impact on the wings.
“We intentionally, when we created a list, we created an opportunity for 12 and 14 to create our opening schedule,” said Wings CEO Curt Miller. “Would you like to hear your name if you are in this range for Dallas.”

Scott attributes team efforts after Ole Miss’ Blowout Win
Madison Scott drops 15 points and adds three blocks in the Rebely Route of Ball State and discusses its leading role along with fungal tough.
Which projected selection from the second or third round is the experts who are asleep?
CREME: Ole Miss‘ Madison Scott. For players collected outside the first round, it’s all about having one or two specific skills that can help the team in point minutes. At 6-2 with length and lateral speed, Scott can protect three positions on the PRO level. It is not difficult to imagine Scott as a defender, even some of the best veteran wings and guard guards in the league will not like playing. Scott will probably never be a big contributor offensive, but he can make a team from the training camp as a defender of locking for 10 to 15 minutes per game.
Moody: Uconn’s Kaitlyn chen. Her journey from Princeton to Uconn shows Chen’s resistance, adaptability and high basketball IQ. The Rangers 5-9 played an important role in Uconn’s 12th Run for the National title, shining as a general and intelligent decision-making creators. Chen excels in various systems, is a rough defender, shoots efficiently and shows calm confidence. Although undersized, Chen’s ability to elevate teammates and control pace is similar to other guards such as Hailey van lith. Chen’s versatility and leadership make it a reliable and impressive accessory at the next level and is ready to connect to the long range of UConn Greats in WNBA.

Hailey van lith lead TCU to the first elite 8 with 26 points
Hailey van lith goes with 26 points and nine rebounds in 71-62 Sweet 16 victories of TCU over Notre Dame.
Snellings: TCU‘With Hailey van lith. I understand questions about its size or how it happened last season with LSU. But she is the winner and her running on TCU has shown a lot of leadership, playing, shooting and gravel that could allow her to be a player in WNBA. Although playing different positions, van lith may face and overcome many doubts Angel Reese Slide in last year’s proposal. And if the sky selects van lithh as if they did Reese, they could get theft of two seasons in a row.

JJ Quinerly releases a smooth basket for western Virginia.
DELIVERIES ONLY: West Virginia Jj quinerly. It was a time when not all WNBA teams had resources, expertise, staff or technology to properly evaluate many players. This is not true, so it is about how players’ skills are potentially suited to teams. To this end, a player like Quinerly could project well for a team that needs a tireless defender on the ball. This season was the fourth among the players of the Power 4 conference in the theft for the game (3.0) and also average 20.4 points.
