"We have to a few holes
to fill now because our backup point guard is injured. We need some post players
but we don't want to miss out on a point guard, so there are definitely a lot
of spots that need to be filled."
Tina
Thompson, Houston Comets
"Well, we definitely need a point guard; we
want to fill that spot. We need someone on the perimeter; Sheryl hasn't had a
true backup in about a year, so getting a small forward would definitely help."
Temeka
Johnson, Los Angeles Sparks
"With Lisa out for the season, we definitely
need another post player and additional bodies to back up the posts we have now.
We cannot replace Lisa but we have to do what we can to try and maintain that
spot and stay competitive. I think we also need some people that can run the floor
and people I can get the ball to in a position to score."
Kendra
Wecker, San Antonio Silver Stars
"We have the second pick, so I expect
that we will take the best player available. With Chantelle Anderson getting hurt,
it opens up the competition in the post. Jessica Davenport is someone who I know
is talented in the post and I haven't talked to Coach Hughes, but I think she
would be a nice pick."
Candice
Dupree, Chicago Sky
"We just got Dominique Canty, which is great as
far as a point guard goes but we need a big man. Someone that can get in there
and crash the boards and score every now and then. Not necessarily looking to
get the ball all the time. But I think that's the biggest thing that we need right
now."
Tamika
Catchings, Indiana Fever
"A dominant low-post presence."
Cappie
Pondexter, Phoenix Mercury
"We are looking to fill the void in the
post area as well as add a few great veteran players through free agency. I don't
want to say a particular name, but I will say I trust that our organization will
make the best decision for us... and I love a lot of the potential draftees."
Sherrill
Baker , New York Liberty
"Probably looking for a post player, but I'm
not sure, maybe a guard, I don't know."
Katie
Smith, Detroit Shock
"I'm not sure we need an immediate impact player,
so I'd like to see us add depth in all positions and add some young players eager
to learn from the experienced veterans who can take over someday.
Kara
Lawson, Sacramento Monarchs
"I think we're always looking to add athleticism.
We need to have that in our system for our defense to do well. And we're always
looking for "big." Athletic and big. There's just not that many of them out there.
We'd like to get a perimeter defender and an "athletic big" who we can keep grooming
because Yo's not going to play forever."
Shona
Thorburn, Minnesota Lynx
"Well, obviously we lost a center with her
pregnancy, so we need another big man who can go out there and run the court,
and pound down low. It's also obvious that we need athleticism and quickness in
the guard position so that's what we are going to be looking for this year."
Sue
Bird, Seattle Storm
"I think we could use a backup point guard. I'm 26
years old. These aren't young legs anymore."
DeLisha
Milton-Jones, Washington Mystics
"We need a big man in the middle and
a small forward."
Betty
Lennox, Seattle Storm
"The team needs a person with strong will and
endurance to last. Along with a great attitude towards basketball. Any player
who has that will fit on our team."
