Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2321319, member: 7492"] Bags, I think your premise is wrong. There is no bonus money for the slot where you are drafted. The WNBA has a pretty rigid set of salary slots-http://[URL="http://www.altiusdirectory.com/Sports/wnba-salaries.php"]www.altiusdirectory.com/Sports/wnba-salaries.php[/URL] So waiting or leaving early does not gain you any big bonus per se'. Jewell Lloyd did not benefit by going #1 with any bonus. She benefitted by starting her pro career early and to go overseas. And before the fans on this board bemoan the salaries, understand and acknowledge the WNBA is a business and the revenues generated simply do not allow for any real money to be made. That's why there are only 12 teams. Overseas leagues are more like hobbies for super wealthy individuals or cities/conglomerates to have their constituents enjoy something. [/QUOTE]
