5. Dallas Wings: Kalani Brown, 6’7 C, Baylor
So we know a bit more about how the post-Cambage Dallas Wings look. They have Glory Johnson, but not Karima Christmas-Kelly. They’ve added Brooke McCarty and Nicole Seekamp for backcourt depth. And it is easy to conceive of a frontline with Johnson and Brown at the 4/5, complementary players capable of taking opposing bigs away from the basket and grabbing the big rebound when necessary, too. There’s defensive versatility here that Brian Agler is going to love. Don’t ignore the dramatic jump in block rate, either, from 4.9 percent last season to 7.2 percent in 2018-19. And Brown provides a fundamentally different look at the five than Theresa Plaisance, giving the Wings more options in halfcourt play (though Brown’s abilities in transition are underrated and have evolved considerably). Brown means Dallas fans can live without Cambage, and frees Greg Bibb’s hand to wait it out.
