12. New York Liberty select Kitija Laksa

Kitija Laksa offers the shooting New York craves. Not only does she hit threes at an elite percentage, she got up a ton of those shots — more than 300 attempts in 2017-18. Her free-throw shooting is off the charts, 96.5 percent in 2017-18. That’s Elena Delle Donne-level! She’s got a sturdy 6′ frame, and should be able to handle herself against pro bodies right away. For her to become more than a situational player, she’ll need to get better on the boards or handle defensive assignments of opposing threes, and then there’s this: if New York has a logjam, can Laksa stay overseas for a year or two while the player blocking her progress on the New York roster, Rebecca Allen, continues playing here? You can be sure New York will know by the time they make this pick.
