Seattle's draft haul this week is drawing rave reviews — with the Storm widely dubbed one of the night's biggest winners.
State of play: Seattle first picked Awa Fam, the 19-year-old Spanish standout at No. 3 overall who is viewed by some analysts as having the highest ceiling in the class.
The Storm then made a surprise move, trading up to No. 8 to land LSU guard Flau'jae Johnson — a dynamic scorer who appeared in ESPN's top-five draft projections.
Plus: They got Duke guard Taina Mair and forward Grace VanSlooten later in the draft.
Why it matters: The team is in rebuilding mode after losing stars like Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins in free agency.
