This is an interview I had with UNC basketball player and 2024 WNBA draft prospect Kennedy Todd-Williams. We discussed what makes her game successful, what she worked on during the offseason, the WNBA, and her goal of reaching the Final Four with a loaded Tar Heels team.

Tiffany Hayes finally makes her long awaited return to take scoring pressure off of Rhyne, is she coming back in time or is it already too late? Also why I’m again hopeful and excited for the Atlanta Dream’s future and why to tune in for all the games this season no matter how well we’re performing in regards Wins and Losses.

Thank you so much for tuning in, I apologize for the lack of content over the last few weeks, please follow me on Twitter as I continue to post random content there and have been conducting Spaces the day before Dream games and depending on how it goes, after the games too.

https://herhoopstats.com

Here are 13 players I have as draft day steals, I’ll also post a link to my Twitter message as well where I posted my full Top 100

E23 9 Chennedy Carter 22P, 2R, 4A, 1TPM, 1S(2), 0B(0) = 31 High risk, high reward player. Made her projections based off stats of her playing in 25+ minutes the past 2 seasons. Only 27 career games, but the superstar potential is apparent

E43 10 Alyssa Thomas 13.5, 8.5R, 4A, 0TPM, 2S(4), .5B(1) = 31- Missed almost all of last season, but I’m fully expecting a return to her dominate self. She averaged a career high in points (15.5), Rebounds (9.0), Assists (4.8) and Steals in 2020 (2.0)

E34 14 ATL Rhyne Howard 16P, 6R, 2A, 2TPM, 1.5S(3), .5B(1) = 30- This ranking is compiled completely off potential obviously, with this being her rookie season. She should get a full opportunity to start however, and think we can expect similar numbers to her Freshman season at UK when she was getting acclimated to a higher skill level game and still stuffed the stat sheet

E37 27 DAL Satou Sabally 13P, 7R, 2.5A, 1TPM, .5S(1), 1B(2) = 26.5- Another high risk, high reward pick. Similar amount of games played to Chennedy the past 2 seasons with only 33 combined games. Contributes in every category and a consistent threat if she can stay healthy

E53 29 MIN Angel McCoughtry 15P, 5R, 2.5A, .5TPM, 1S(2), .5B(1) = 26- She’s only been able to play 20+ games in 2/4 last seasons with 2 games combined in the other 2. If she’s able to stay healthy though, even in limited minutes like she was for Vegas in 2020, she simply produced at 20 Minutes/Game 14.5 Points, 5 Rebounds, 2.5 Assists, and 1.3 Steals

E47 31 LVG Dearica Hamby 12.5P, 7R, 2.5A, .5TPM, 1.5S(3), 0B(0) = 25.5 Doesn’t dominate in any category, but consistently produces double digit point performances and has done it for 3 consecutive seasons.

E67 42 LAS Amanda Zahui B 9P, 7R, 1.5A, 1.5TPM, 1S(2), 1B(2) = 23- Even with Liz Cambage in the Sparks lineup, AZB should still receive around 23-25 minutes a game where she’s contributed in a lot of areas, including knocking down 3’s and constantly contributing to the double stat categories

E66 46 LAS Kristi Toliver 12P, 2R, 4.5A, 1.5TPM, 1S(2), 0B(0) = 22 Only got to play in 19 games last season and had her lowest minutes since 2011 and her lowest PPG since 2011. Before last year, she has 9 straight seasons of double digit points (out 2020) and 8 straight of 3+ assists

E72 49 ATL Aari McDonald 10P, 3R, 3.5A, 2TPM, 1.5S(3), 0B = 21.5 Another projection based off potential, but should get ample opportunity this season. If she averages 25+ a game she’ll consistently get 20+ fantasy point games. I’ll go into her a lot more in my Atlanta Dream player profiles next week, but look at her /40 minute stats

E70 55 CHI Julie Allemand 8P, 4.0R, 5A, 1TPM, 1S(2), .5B(1) = 21 She only played one season with the Fever in 2020, but she can excel if given the minutes with the Sky. Great pickup for deeper drafts, I wouldn’t recommend drafting her in generic roster level leagues with no guarantees on how much she’ll play. In her lone season with the Fever in 2020 she averaged 8.5Pts, 4.5Reb, 5.8 Assists and 1.1 Steals

Thank you so much for tuning in, a lot going on in life and sadly not able to put these episodes out as much as I’d like to. I’m extremely pleased with the Atlanta Dream’s 5-3 start to the season, and can’t wait to see what’s in store for June. Audio file unfortunately did not upload the last part of the episode, but hope you enjoy!

As always thank you to https://acrossthetimeline.com and https://herhoopstats.com

Here’s my quick first reaction to the Atlanta Dream acquiring the 1st Overall pick from the Washington Mystics! Will break it down more in depth tomorrow with other draft content to come over the next few days!

For this episode, I do two separate trade sequences where the Dream make 4 trades near or during the draft to build for the future. Had a lot of fun putting this together, which one do you think is the better fit for the Dream? Forgot to mention Sparks 1R for 2023 for Roster Ayoka Lee.

Roster 1

C- Austin

F- Achonwa, Burrell, Coffey, Parker, Walker, Willoughby (Kone reserved for next season)

G- Dickey, Harris, Hayes, McDonald, Wheeler

2023 Draft Picks: Dream 1R(Boston), Lynx1R(Blackwell), Sparks1R (Lee) Liberty2R(Kitley)

Roster 2

C- Kuier

F- Achonwa, Billings, Coffey, Hillmon, Parker, Walker

G- Burton, Dickey, Durr, Hayes, Wheeler

2023 Draft Picks: Dream 1R(Boston), Liberty1R(Jones), Lynx1R(Key)

3 trade scenarios involving the Atlanta Dream and Indiana Fever. This was very draft pick heavy, with the Fever having 4 draft picks in the Top 10 for next month.

WNBA Team Salary Breakdowns

https://herhoopstats.com/salary-cap-sheet/wnba/team/

Welcome to my next Atlanta Dream trade hypothetical episode! (3/4) All 3 of these trades involve the Dream trading their 2022 3rd pick in exchange for the Liberty’s 2022 5th Pick.

Thank you as always HerHoopsStats for the salary breakdowns and in-depth stats!

https://herhoopstats.com/salary-cap-sheet/wnba/summary/

3 Trade hypotheticals between the Atlanta Dream and Minnesota Lynx! For Minnesota it’s all about clearing cap space, especially with Collier out, it’ll be a challenge to fit 11 players.

My predictions on who will win advance to the Elite 8 along with my Final Four Teams. Also go over key WNBA prospects to watch over the weekend.

The Mystics come into this game against the Dream hungry for a win after their defeat to the Chicago Sky on Sunday. EDD enters the lineup, which she wasn’t in the matchup against Atlanta on Friday, while the Dream have 3 players out in Tiffany Hayes (Rest from Overseas), Monique Billings (Health and Safety Protocols), and Erica Wheeler (Groin). Will the Dream earn a monster win against the Mystics with only 9 Players in the lineup?

3 Atlanta Dream-Dallas Wings trade scenarios and what the rosters and salary situation would be for both teams after each deal.

This is the first of four episodes in this trade hypothetical series: Lynx, Liberty, and Fever will be posted in separate episodes over the next few days.

Thank you HerHoopStats for the amazing team salary sheets along with player pronunciations made by the actual players! https://herhoopstats.com/salary-cap-sheet/wnba/team/2022/atlanta-dream-11eaecc7-356c-1364-b611-2362f5011b0b/

Brief look into how the Dream roster looks now, and how the team would potentially look like if the Dream didn’t make any trades going into the regular season. Also make my 3 draft pick projections and why they’d make a good selection for Atlanta. Hypothetical trade scenarios with the Wings, Fever, Lynx, and Liberty coming over the next few days.
