From our seniors Pope will get notice because of her improved numbers, but honestly, she still doesn't know her way around the paint well enough to go up against WNBA types. However, any team who has an established #5 post but needs some help on the boards would do well to take a flier on Destiny Williams.
Destiny did not develop as much her senior year because she split time with Pope. And, between the two of them Pope/Williams, Mulkey got a better composite than either one of them could be as individuals. But Williams was a quite effective junior on the 2012 team and has much more moxy around the paint and basket than Pope does. Had Williams had a senior year to play the #4 all year long, she would certainly be WNBA ready--a bit short perhaps by some standards for a #4, but has the large enough body and rebounding saavy to make up for it.
I'm certainly not suggesting she's a top 10 or probably even a first round (and we all know if you don't go first round the odds of sticking around plummet), but Williams can play and some team who takes her in the second, may just find out they don't need their first. Obviously I'm a big fan.
