STORM HEAD COACH RATES THE TOP 10 DRAFT PROSPECTS In Contention for No. 1 By Lin Dunn The Seattle Storm hold the No. 1 pick in the 2002 WNBA Draft and, provided they don't trade the pick before draft day, have a number of prospects to choose from in a very talent-heavy field. We asked Storm head coach Lin Dunn to rate her top 10, with an explanation behind why they're in contention for the top pick. Here are her choices ... in alphabetical order.
Guard "She is the best true point guard in the draft. She reminds me of a combination of Dawn Staley and Jennifer Azzi; her greatest assets are her leadership and her ability to score."
Forward "She is the best forward in the draft. She is quick, strong and physical; a GREAT rebounder who knows how to win."
Forward/Center "She is very strong and plays bigger than 6-2. She has a great touch around the basket and will only get better."
Guard "She is a multi-dimensional player who can play up to four positions. She's tough- minded, has deceptive speed and a great ability to find a way to score."
Forward/Center "She is a rugged, physical forward who can play at the 3 or 4 spots. She hits the boards like a center."
Guard "Sheila is the quickest guard in Divison I and may be the quickest in the game. She boasts great handles, has great hands and defends very well."
Forward/Center "She is a big, athletic sleeper of the draft. She has a nice touch around the basket. She is at her best in the low block with her back to basket."
Center "She is one of the quickest post players in the draft. She is mobile, agile and can really run the floor.You can not stop her turnaround jumper. She will likely dunk when she gets to the WNBA."
Guard "Nikki has exceptional speed and quickness. She is a big combo guard who can play at the 1, 2 or 3 spots. She has great three-point shooting range and is also a solid defender."
Forward "Tamika is a combo forward who plays physical inside and outside. She will help any WNBA team with her offensive and defensive skills. She could be a sleeper."
