I’ve only seen Miller play a couple of times, and tbh it was nothing to write home about. But she profiles as the kind of big wing NBA teams are all trying to stockpile (especially with some on-ball skills), and it seems to me that’s an even rarer archetype in the W, so I can see why she’d be high on everyone’s list.

Juhasz intrigues me a little bit, too. Cheryl Reeve has her centers do a lot, and Dorka managed 5.5. AST per 36 as a rookie (!) and has shown some willingness to step out to the three-point line as well (though her FT% attests to no great shooting touch). She lost a bunch of playing time to Alana Smith this year, but that’s hardly damning. Actually, Smith feels like a pretty good ~90th percentile comp for Juhasz.

There are definitely some folks in my life who would be thrilled with Pili, representing for both Pacific Islanders and indigenous Alaskans. Not sure what the ceiling is for a player like her, but it’d be fun to see what she can do with more minutes on a team that really needs her to score.

Miller feels like the MIN Kuminga… clearly has talents and it’s easy to dream her into a story of being tragically misused and someone who will blossom elsewhere. I expect GSV will take her if available, simply to have more high risk high reward chances.
