7. Los Angeles Sparks: Napheesa Collier, 6’1 F, Connecticut
On a roster with plenty of guards and bigs, Collier stands out as someone capable of filling the relative wing shortage new coach Derek Fisher faces. She’s an elite rebounder, especially for her size, something Fisher identified as a key need when he took the job. But she does many other things, whether it’s versatility on the defensive end, stepping into passing lanes (Collier’s steal percentage is 2.4 percent and was north of 3 last year) and can shoot it from everywhere (though her drop in three-point accuracy this year is a red flag, reinforced by her drop in free throw percentage). Collier, like Samuelson, comes with UConn pedigree, a very high basketball IQ, and should help the Sparks as a logical three to put next to Nneka Ogwumike and Candace Parker, for instance—or even a lineup featuring a certain center the Wings have on the trade market, too.
