Round 2
There’s been a lot of chatter around Louisville’s Myisha Hines-Allen of late, so let’s examine her case. She can slot in as a three or smaller four, in part because she plays taller than her 6’2 height. Her defensive rebounding percentage of 27.7 rates 21st in the country, while her block percentage of 1.8 percent and 15.9 assist percentage reflects an ability to impact the game in different ways at both ends. There’s no one clear WNBA skill, but clearly teams are intrigued by the broad base of talent. A big tournament could do for her what it did for Kaela Davis last year.
