I don't like Smith much -- a 6-2 power forward who can't shoot. She'll probably carve out a career in the league, but I can't see her being an all-star. Which means that Thibault has concerns about Howard's motor, most likely, and sees her as a Victoria Vivians redux.
That said, though, who's better? Austin couldn't shoot 50% from the field, and it's hard to get the blood pumping about anyone else. What this means is, for me, that the No. 3 pick in the draft is now the most interesting.

What do you think about potential draft day trades? I gotta think Minnesota is wanting to package something out.
