This is an interview I had with UNC basketball player and 2024 WNBA draft prospect Kennedy Todd-Williams. We discussed what makes her game successful, what she worked on during the offseason, the WNBA, and her goal of reaching the Final Four with a loaded Tar Heels team.
Tiffany Hayes finally makes her long awaited return to take scoring pressure off of Rhyne, is she coming back in time or is it already too late? Also why I'm again hopeful and excited for the Atlanta Dream's future and why to tune in for all the games this season no matter how well we're performing in regards Wins and Losses. Thank you so much for tuning in, I apologize for the lack of content over the last few weeks, please follow me on Twitter as I continue to post random content there and have been conducting Spaces the day before Dream games and depending on how it goes, after the games too.

The Mystics come into this game against the Dream hungry for a win after their defeat to the Chicago Sky on Sunday. EDD enters the lineup, which she wasn't in the matchup against Atlanta on Friday, while the Dream have 3 players out in Tiffany Hayes (Rest from Overseas), Monique Billings (Health and Safety Protocols), and Erica Wheeler (Groin). Will the Dream earn a monster win against the Mystics with only 9 Players in the lineup?

Here are 13 players I have as draft day steals, I'll also post a link to my Twitter message as well where I posted my full Top 100E23 9 Chennedy Carter 22P, 2R, 4A, 1TPM, 1S(2), 0B(0) = 31 High risk, high reward player. Made her projections based off stats of her playing in 25+ minutes the past 2 seasons. Only 27 career games, but the superstar potential is apparentE43 10 Alyssa Thomas 13.5, 8.5R, 4A, 0TPM, 2S(4), .5B(1) = 31- Missed almost all of last season, but I'm fully expecting a return to her dominate self. She averaged a career high in points (15.5), Rebounds (9.0), Assists (4.8) and Steals in 2020 (2.0)E34 14 ATL Rhyne Howard 16P, 6R, 2A, 2TPM, 1.5S(3), .5B(1) = 30- This ranking is compiled completely off potential obviously, with this being her rookie season. She should get a full opportunity to start however, and think we can expect similar numbers to her Freshman season at UK when she was getting acclimated to a higher skill level game and still stuffed the stat sheetE37 27 DAL Satou Sabally 13P, 7R, 2.5A, 1TPM, .5S(1), 1B(2) = 26.5- Another high risk, high reward pick. Similar amount of games played to Chennedy the past 2 seasons with only 33 combined games. Contributes in every category and a consistent threat if she can stay healthyE53 29 MIN Angel McCoughtry 15P, 5R, 2.5A, .5TPM, 1S(2), .5B(1) = 26- She's only been able to play 20+ games in 2/4 last seasons with 2 games combined in the other 2. If she's able to stay healthy though, even in limited minutes like she was for Vegas in 2020, she simply produced at 20 Minutes/Game 14.5 Points, 5 Rebounds, 2.5 Assists, and 1.3 StealsE47 31 LVG Dearica Hamby 12.5P, 7R, 2.5A, .5TPM, 1.5S(3), 0B(0) = 25.5 Doesn't dominate in any category, but consistently produces double digit point performances and has done it for 3 consecutive seasons.E67 42 LAS Amanda Zahui B 9P, 7R, 1.5A, 1.5TPM, 1S(2), 1B(2) = 23- Even with Liz Cambage in the Sparks lineup, AZB should still receive around 23-25 minutes a game where she's contributed in a lot of areas, including knocking down 3's and constantly contributing to the double stat categoriesE66 46 LAS Kristi Toliver 12P, 2R, 4.5A, 1.5TPM, 1S(2), 0B(0) = 22 Only got to play in 19 games last season and had her lowest minutes since 2011 and her lowest PPG since 2011. Before last year, she has 9 straight seasons of double digit points (out 2020) and 8 straight of 3+ assistsE72 49 ATL Aari McDonald 10P, 3R, 3.5A, 2TPM, 1.5S(3), 0B = 21.5 Another projection based off potential, but should get ample opportunity this season. If she averages 25+ a game she'll consistently get 20+ fantasy point games. I'll go into her a lot more in my Atlanta Dream player profiles next week, but look at her /40 minute statsE70 55 CHI Julie Allemand 8P, 4.0R, 5A, 1TPM, 1S(2), .5B(1) = 21 She only played one season with the Fever in 2020, but she can excel if given the minutes with the Sky. Great pickup for deeper drafts, I wouldn't recommend drafting her in generic roster level leagues with no guarantees on how much she'll play. In her lone season with the Fever in 2020 she averaged 8.5Pts, 4.5Reb, 5.8 Assists and 1.1 Stealshttps://twitter.com/enfpdreamfan/status/1515755957044846601?s=21&t=-zVPiGykvPguDSaOSoz6XQAs always thanks https://herhoopstats.com for easy to use expansive filters!!!
The WNBA is such a joy to watch and I enjoy the personalities and skills that make up this wonderful league. This episode highlights the need for dramatic pay raises, roster increases, and team expansion.
