6. Minnesota Lynx: Alanna Smith, 6’4 F, Stanford
No one has elevated her draft stock this season more than Alanna Smith, and this may not be as high as it gets, the way she is playing for Tara Vanderveer and Stanford. She’s shooting nearly 60 percent from two and just under 40 percent from three. Her block rate is near nine percent and she finds her teammates at a 15.2 percent clip. And there’s consistency, too: double figures in her last eleven games in scoring, 20+ her last six, steals in each of her last seven games. There are still some people who don’t realize Smith is among the elite prospects, and I’d imagine Cheryl Reeve hopes that remains the case right through April 10. A Final Four run might dash that, though.
