4. Atlanta Dream select Chennedy Carter, 5’7 G, Texas A&M
The Dream need two things this offseason, really. They need a dynamic leading scorer. And they need a point guard who can push the pace and find Dream shooters where they are most comfortable to lift that ugly team field goal percentage from 2019. In Chennedy Carter, a junior who could come out early, they could acquire both at once. For many other teams, Carter’s shoot-first mentality would be a problem. For the Dream, especially if free agent Angel McCoughtry doesn’t return, it’ll be a feature. And many point guards suffer from confidence issues early in their careers. Safe to say that will not be the case with Chennedy Carter, who looked pro-ready in high school.
