So with the regular season done, I got curious about how well draft pick order lines up with rookie season performance (with the caveat that I know there is a lot that is not captured in points and stats).
Casey O'Brien was the 3rd overall pick, Haley Winn was the 2nd overall pick, Nicole Gosling was 4th overall pick, Kendall Cooper was the 6th overall pick...
...and Abby Newhook was the 34th overall pick.
Obviously injuries affected how this all played out because I would imagine that Kalty would be up there in the top 5, if not at the top, had she been healthy the entire season...given that she's 8th in these standings but has only played 21 games.
Anyway, this next draft class is gonna be wild.
