Kiah will be drafted at the Mohegan Sun. That is where draft is held. She will go from pick 5 to 10. first round of course.Its more difficult to have an individual Pick criteria, instead I'll use a Range of Picks. I've seen mock drafts where Kiah is selected in the 1st as well as the 2nd Round.
Chi-Town should be licking their chops right now...I think she gets drafted but whether or not she makes the final roster is another question

http://www.draftsite.com/wnba/mock-draft/2015/Where can I find mock drafts. Usually, by now, there are predictions on WNBA.com, but I have not seen any.

You're prolly right. They never do what I tell them to do...Maybe...but I doubt it's for Stokes. Hamby or Gray at PF would fill a bigger need.
Scorers (better known as "gunners" et al) are a dime a dozen...So sayeth Altavilla:
"Meanwhile, Kiah Stokes, who set UConn's single-season record for blocked shots this season, seems a likely early to middle second-round pick. She just doesn't score enough to merit a higher selection."
With her getting the rebound and kicking it back out to Sloot with Cappie, EDD or Quigley around this could be the Sky's year.I think we may under value Kia. She is an incredible athlete who could fill a defensive role for a lot of teams. Pair her with know scorers and she could get a lot burn from day 1.
When I look at this year's draft I really only see three, possibly four sure fire difference makers! Loyd,KML, Zahui, and possibly Harrison. All the rest are just possibles. Sure, 2 or 3 will fall into optimal situations and become, if not stars, solid pieces for their team. I believe Kiah will go, certainly in the first round, to a team that recognizes that it's smarter to roll the dice and choose someone who is halfway exceptional over someone who is wholly average. Exceptionality is a rare commodity that is highly sought after in professional sports, while average usually gets shown the door. Anyway, I will be very surprised if Kiah slips out of the first round!
Curious as to what makes you think Harrison is a difference maker over someone like Hamby ?
