I wanted to start a thread to add any news/info/mocks regarding Dorka & Lou and this year’s WNBA Draft. The WNBA hasn’t released the list of player’s who’ll be attending, but I hope they’ll both be in attendance (with the team since it’ll be in NY).
 
I honestly believe that Lou will be a surprise high draft pick. She runs the floor well, a 40+ 3 point shooter and can create her own shot. While Boston is a very good player she appears to lack stamina and she will not be able to bully WNBA post players as she did in college. I predict that Miller or so other player will go #1.
Dorka really improved the last quarter of the past season and has an excellent chance of being chosen in the first round.

Awesome!, so happy! I was just trying to search who has been invited! Couldn’t find anything. Darrel, you are good!

The WNBA are announcing invites in alphabetical order (by last name). I got a little anxious after Haley Jones, but then came Dorka and Lou.

Me too as you posted I was anxiously searching again on Instagram for Lou’s name saying they couldn’t have left her off the invite with all the great press she’s been receiving. The great thing that happened was I came across a fun Live with Amari DeBerry cooking pizza and Paige some of the men’s team were involved. A great day all around. Thanks for posting.

Can't wait to see what team gets lucky and draft these very talented young women. They both deserve to go I. The first round. So congratulations to them both. What a amazing year, they both had. And can't wait for them to make a awesome career. Good luck

Any GM who passes on Boston at #1 should be fired on the spot. Players with her size and skillset aren't around in very many drafts and if you have a shot at taking her and you pass, shame on you. Keep in mind when she plays in the pros her coach isn't going to crowd the middle so much that she has no place to move.
 
Offensively I think both of them are 1st rounders, defensively I'm not too sure. UCONN switches so much on defense it is hard to get a feel for how they would fare in a true one on one environment. Dorka has the size to defend from behind but Lou is going to need to be in front to defend effectively.

If you think Dorka can defend a WNBA level player I think she goes top 5 or 6 if not she will go near the end of the 1st. With Lou I think there are more players fighting for her spot but she did show she can shoot the ball with great accuracy against good competition. That should be her tie breaker.

Should be an interesting night for both of them.
