Lou Lopez Senechal: The Wings' 2023 WNBA draft choice is ready to shoot the lights out

Lou Lopez Senechal might be the draft’s best shooter, and that skill is one every team in the WNBA is looking for, especially the Dallas Wings which selected her No. 5 overall. In her fifth year at UConn, she made an extremely impressive 77-of-175 attempts (44%), in off-the-dribble and on catch-and-shoot situations. She’s also an active cutter.

Lopez Senechal might be the oldest player in the draft, but unlike the NBA draft, it’s not seen as a knock in the WNBA. Experience is a currency, and most of the league is trying to win every year. Plus, there isn’t much room on a roster for development.

Why Wings should be excited that Lou Lopez Senechal is on their team

Sharp. Shooter. I guarantee your team needs more of this, and coming from a 6-foot-1 guard makes it that much more valuable. Lopez Senechal is really good at one thing, and in a league that needs you to provide something great every night, there’s a good chance she sticks.
