6. Minnesota Lynx select Ty Harris

This is a pretty solid spot for Cheryl Reeve to occupy. She could use some help at point guard, and there are plenty of options to do so. She could engage Greg Bibb and find a deal that, for instance, trades the sixth pick for seven and nine. The question with Ty Harris is less about her 2019-20 performance, and more whether WNBA talent evaluators were simply underselling her coming into the season. It’s hard to argue with anything she does. On the offensive side of the ledger, she’s continued to excel at finding her teammates, with an assist percentage of 33.1 this year, while her turnover percentage remained low. It’s no longer advisable to sag off Harris when she’s open beyond the arc, as she improved her accuracy there to 38.4%. She’s got size for the position, she hits her free throws. The only warning note, really, is a limited ability to finish around the rim. But she’ll be the second point guard picked after Carter, and plenty of teams could use her. It is easy to picture defenses stretched by lineups featuring Harris next to Lexie Brown, both providing deep threat shooting and above average defense.
