Make sure you vote for our ND alum @SkyDigg4 @MsPeters14 @kaymac_2123 @NatAchon ..WNBA All-Star 2015 balloting here: http://on.nba.com/1TuPZ9V

5 hours later, after someone tweeted she voted for Jewell Loyd, we get this

Not enough characters in earlier tweet... Also Jewell Loyd for WNBA All-Star 2015 balloting here: http://on.nba.com/1TuPZ9V

Speaking of Jewell Loyd, I wonder if this trend of players leaving early will start to seap more into the women's game? I hope not, but you never know with the new generation of kids coming through and a bit of an increase in potential earning power both in the WNBA and overseas.

Watch Diamond DeShields...I think she is the next one to go early...

I entered this thread expecting to see a Coach JPMcallie tweet

Then I realized she'd have her own dedicated thread

Bet on it.

 

[DaddyChoc]

dang Stewie slipped up, then tried to "jokingly" correct it... thats funny!

Watch Diamond DeShields...I think she is the next one to go early...

Yeah if she is as good as advertised, definitely. She can say she plans to use her full eligibility all she wants, but Loyd said the same thing 5 minutes before deciding to leave early.

the WNBA doesn't really take place during "basketball season"

 

[UConnTrumbull]

I normally don't follow the WNBA too closely but didn't the season just start? Already with the All-Star balloting?

2015 WNBA all-star game is July 25th roughly a month away so yes balloting has to start now. WNBA season is only a few months long. The reason Stewie probably forgot and Orangutun point is for the rest of the entire world basketball season is November-April (June at the latest for NBA). WNBA is the outlier with a summer schedule.

Except for the basketball games that are going on right now in Europe...

So you are telling me than I have been sitting here feening for quality basketball since April 8th and you are aware of basketball being played in Europe and did not share? Not very charitable of you.
