PICKS

Round 2 Pick 5 Erica McCall, F, Stanford

Round 2 Pick 8 Feyonda Fitzgerald, PG, Temple

Round 2 Pick 10 Ronni Williams, F, Florida

Round 3 Pick 8 Adrienne Motley, G, Miami

A lot to like here for Pokey Chatman to shape in her first year coaching the Fever. She’s the perfect coach for McCall, who needs to round out her offensive game, but whose defense should get her time on the court. Fitzgerald was among the nation’s leaders in assist percentage—fourth in the country—while her turnover percentage was the lowest of anyone in the top 25 in assist percentage. She should be an effective game manager at the WNBA level. Williams lacks a clear position but can score around the basket effectively. Motley is an interesting combo guard who can shoot the three.
