In need of a boost on offense, the Dream used the No. 4 overall selection in the 2020 WNBA Draft on Carter, arguably the top scorer available. A certified bucket-getter at Texas A&M, the guard averaged 225 points over three seasons and was tabbed an All-American in each of those campaigns.
In Derrick Alston, the Philadelphia 76ers have a quality inside player who gives the versatility at both forward positions in addition to filling in at center on occasion. While at the University of Dequeste, he spearheaded both their offense and defense, averaging 21.3 points and 7.3 boards a game. He ended his career as their all-time leader in field goal percentage (.576) and blocked shots (229). The Sixers acquired the 6-11 Alston using the 33rd selection in the 1994 NBA Draft.
"JUST PIPPEN" How acquired: Traded by Seattle to Chicago on 6/22/87 for draft rights to Olden Polynice, a 1988 or 1989 second-round draft choice and the option to exchange 1989 first-round draft choices. When you are a basketball player in Chicago and your first name isn't Michael, it is a little difficult to get recognition. But the 1991-92 season put together by Scottie Pippen has clearly established that there is more than one Bull on a rampage in the Windy City. Pippen finished 14th in the league in scoring, led Chicago with seven assists per game and was second on the Bulls in rebounding, blocked shots and steals. At the end of the season, the accolades poured in for the Central Arkansas product. Pippen was selected for the NBA All-Defensive First Team and was named to the All-NBA Second Team. Perhaps the most important and prestigious honor came when Pippen was chosen to represent the United States in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain - along with the best the NBA has to offer. After a rookie season that had its ups and downs, Pippen has proven to be almost as consistent as that Jordan guy. Pippen has averaged at least 14 points, six assists and six rebounds in each of the last four seasons.
