According to the YouTube DL provided she is a hell of a passer. Easy to see why she went #2

I would like to see Reeve set up a front that allows Phee to play more of a wing role. She gave away a lot of size on some defensive matchups. Alyssa Thomas in particular beat her up and wore her down. Fam could have changed that front court dynamic. Disclaimer: my opinion of Fam comes from scouting reports and highlights, not seeing actual games.

That said, I can't complain about Olivia Miles. She is the most complete offensive player in this draft. Seems like a shorter version of Paige Bueckers. Elite decision making and passing, good shooter and rebounds the position well. I had swung to Miles from Fudd. Azzi is an incredible shooter and good defender, but Miles looks to be a lot more than a 3 and D. She seems to have that elevate teammates quality. Her defense to this point has been bad, but Cheryl must have confidence in her ability to play defense. I don't think she would have drafted her otherwise. That's generally a deal breaker for Reeve.

Miles' IQ, decision making and passing are about as good as it gets coming out of college.

I watched some of her snap passes in the video. Really good at everything by the looks of it if like you and DL say---get her working on her defense.

She could be the best player of this draft.....

The highlights from her rookie debut are bananas.

That pass Olivia threw to win the game was an absolute dime.

If all our bigs weren’t “phantom fouled” out, it was a gimmie.

Not to mention Reese fouled Hoff on the shot with no call.

I heard one of the worst kept secrets is that Paige and Fudd have been dating since they played together at UCONN.

Not sure how that affected our drafting Miles but it ended up great for the Lynx.

Their relationship was common knowledge. Dallas' rationale for Fudd over Miles was that Miles duplicates Bueckers, while Fudd is a pure 3 level scorer who compliments Bueckers.

I try to find a next-morning Olivia Miles highlight montage from any Lynx game I'm not able to watch live.

I'm almost always giggling and shaking my head within 30 seconds.

Do you?

There is literal nothing secret about Paige and Azzi's relationship. Paige was publicly talking about it a year ago and it was one of the stories leading up to draft night.

Would you refer to your parents being married as a "worst kept secret".

Maybe you need context....the AAU circles knew about it before Paige mentioned it. An AAU parent is who told me about it.

I guess you would have to use an example like that to match your ego and condescending tone.

Just admit you're wrong instead of playing the victim. Its old news - not a secret in any way, shape or form.

There was a ton of national attention on the draft because of their relationship - with a lot of people thinking the Wings chose Azzi to keep Paige happy in Dallas.
