PICKS

Round 3 Pick 5 Alexis Prince, G, Baylor

An abbreviated draft for a veteran Mercury team, but they did well in their late spot with Prince. A big guard—6’2—capable of shooting the three, Prince also defends well, allowing just 0.611 points per possession, per Synergy. She has every chance of making that Mercury roster.
