Thank you for tuning in! This is my brief preview (more in-depth breakdowns for regular season) of what I’m looking forward to for the Atlanta Dream’s preseason matchup against the Washington Mystics tomorrow at 330 Eastern. Will Rhyne and Aari be in the starting lineup? Who starts at Center? Which 2 TC contract players grab the last roster spots?

Thanks for tuning in! This episode goes over former 2019 All-Star Game MVP Erica Wheeler and what I believe she’ll bring to the Atlanta Dream for the 2022 Season. Tomorrow I’ll be doing a preseason game preview for the Dream’s game against the Mystics on Sunday, along with my next Dream player profile in Monique Billings.

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 100

E23 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 apparent

E43 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 sheet

E37 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 healthy

E53 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 Steals

E47 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 categories

E66 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+ assists

E72 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 stats

E70 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 Steals
