Here is the pool of players the Atlanta Dream will be considering for their 2023 roster:
- Rhyne Howard, starting SG ($73,584)
- Allisha Gray, starting SF ($194,600)
- Cheyenne Parker, starting PF ($216,100)
- AD Durr, second SG ($74,305)
- Aari McDonald, starting PG ($78,586)
- No. 6 pick ($71,300)
- No. 8 pick ($71,300)
- Danielle Robinson, second PG ($155,000)
- Monique Billings, starting C ($145,000)
- Nia Coffey, second SF ($130,000)
- Naz Hillmon, second PF ($64,657)
- Iliana Rupert, second C ($67,634)
- No. 15 pick ($65,290)
- Beatrice Mompremier, third C ($74,305)
- Lorela Cubaj, fourth C ($62,285)
- Mikayla Pivec, third PG ($62,285)
The Dream could start Cheyenne Parker or Monique Billings at center and have Iliana Rupert as their backup, but center is probably the biggest need for them at No. 6. Better to start Parker at PF and have Billings come off the bench, and they might be able to get someone who can be a starter right away at No. 6.
ESPN doesn’t have Iowa State center Stephanie Soares available at No. 6, but I think the Mystics may pass on a center at No. 4 since they have Shakira Austin and Amanda Zahui B. I could really see Soares going to Atlanta. She is 6-foot-6, can shoot the three and flashed some major potential early on this past NCAAW season for the Cyclones before…
