1. Las Vegas Aces: Asia Durr, 5’10 G, Louisville
You all saw Thursday night’s performance against NC State, I take it? Yes, there’s a growing consensus that not only does Asia Durr possess the two-way talent necessary to bring her to immediate stardom in the league, but that her sense of the moment will elevate her, and any team she joins, in the big spot. The Aces could add Durr to a lineup with, say, Kelsey Plum or Moriah Jefferson at the point and Kayla McBride at the three and cause massive matchup problems with their backcourt to complement the endless trouble A’ja Wilson causes. Worth noting also: the better Durr performs, the more this pick is worth, even if Sabrina Ionescu elects to stay in school.
