So that brings us to the subject of next week's WNBA draft, and whom the Sun will or should pick. There was a quite mention during the final game that Danielle Robinson of the San Antonio team (which has the 2nd pick) is injured, and that therefore it is more likely that they will indeed pick Moriah (Texas's Favorite Daughter, I suppose) with that pick. Previously it was thought that they had bigger needs in the post, and might not pick a point guard even if it were Moriah.
So apparently Rebecca has projected that the Sun, who have the next two picks, will take Morgan and USF's Courtney Williams. I have heard others say that the Sun will pick Rachel Banham of Minnesota.
Those wouldn't be my picks. I would expect and hope that the Sun would first grab Jonquel Jones of GW (assuming that San Antonio really passes on her, about which I am skeptical). Morgan, Williams, or Tiffany Mitchell of South Carolina would be other plausible choices. But I agree with Kara Lawson that Morgan would be a risky pick because (only) of her injury history, and I don't think the Sun should take that risk. Some better team with a later pick would be more able to take that risk, and Morgan would probably be better off there anyway.
One person who doesn't seem to be highly rated in mock drafts is Bashaara Graves of Tennessee. I doubt that the Sun would choose her with either of their first-round picks, but as a second round pick she would be a good bet to make the team and contribute. She hasn't gotten much coaching at Tennessee as we all know, but her physical gifts and her attitude make her look to me like a very good bet.
I also wonder where Madison Cable of Notre Dame will go in the draft. One mock draft had the Sun taking her in the second round. It seems a bit doubtful to me that she will still be available at that point.
