Which is sort of it's own problem.

Last year Tamera Young was their 3rd-leading player in minutes played (behind Wilson and McBride). That would be the spot Jackie would fill, playing on the wing alongside McBride.

Laimbeer said that Durr and McCowan are the top two players in the draft in a pre-draft conference call last week. But that was before he was allowed to talk about Young.

They could very well just take McCowan to go alongside Wilson in the frontcourt. But they also could just take Young or Durr if they think one of those two are the best player available.

I think McBride can play either 2 or 3, so either Young or Durr would allow them to replace Ty Young in the starting 5 and get a nice upgrade to the lineup.
