Who is better for Sandrone? I know C6 Alyosha is better than C0 or I think even C2 Qiqi but what about C6 Qiqi?

Curious because the Sparks keep losing and Plum was projected to be re-evaluated around this time now. Is there any incentive for her to come back? Will the Sparks just throw the rest of the season in the bin? What about Nneka?

I see a lot of people on here questioning picking Yaxel, wondering if he‘s good enough or wondering about his age etc etc

First off, it‘s crazy to me that Yaxel is such an unknown commodity to a lot of people because if you‘d have followed the draft talks and speculations, he was one of the most talked about players from the entire draft. Now your question might be „well why didn‘t he get picked earlier?“.

Simple reason: his age. That‘s it. If you‘re picking in the lottery you‘re most likely a team that is not in win now mode, rather in your rebuild or developmental phase which is why a player that is 23/24 seems unattractive. Well, guess who IS in win now mode? The Warriors. This is probably the best player the Warriors could‘ve drafted out of the entire draft in terms of fit, role, timing, everything. Yaxel can come in and contribute right away, which is exactly what the Warriors need.

Look at it like this: if Yaxel was younger, he would go Top 3 in almost any draft. So this is basically the same as picking 1-3 in a draft 4-5 years ago and then developing him into what he is now, you‘re basically picking the already (mostly) finished product and don‘t have to develop him first.

A lot of people might say Pick 1-3 has to be a franchise player but we‘ve seen many times that this is not the case. Andrew Wiggins was picked 1st and he never was a franchise player yet he contributed immensely on a championship team and is still one of the best all-around players in the league.

Don‘t sweat this pick, it‘s literally the perfect and best pick for the Warriors‘ and Stephs situation

Being completely upfront, I‘m purely asking this because of Fantasy WNBA and I think this is the right place to ask. I had Satou last year and she was amazing and even more amazing the years before that. Now she started not only injured but also on a completely different team. How many minutes should I realistically expect of her? Is she gonna keep coming off the bench? I mean she has definitely performed in those lower minutes but in Fantasy the more minutes you get the more you are valuable. Hope you can help!
