4. Atlanta Dream select Chennedy Carter

Quickly, a look at the assist percentage leaders currently returning to Atlanta: Tiffany Hayes leads the way at 21.9. Courtney Williams is incoming, at 23.2%. Neither one is, or should be, the starting point guard, the primary ball distributor. Renee Montgomery has those skills, but looks best-suited to serve as a perimeter floor spacer for the Dream. All of which reinforces: the Atlanta Dream could use another alternative to Hayes and Williams to take shots late, but they also need a floor general. Carter is a rookie, and that typically comes with some shyness/reticence… but that’s just not in her makeup, and never has been. For the Dream, Carter, assuming she comes out, has to be the pick here.
