I was at the Mystics v. Storm last night and remembered Tiana Hawkins's history. She was the #133 player in the high school rankings when Brenda recruited her. She was raw and not all that impressive early on, but she became a force at Maryland by her last two years. She led the nation in FG percentage as a junior. She finished her career with about 1,600 points and 1,100 boards. She was All-ACC and honorable mention AA as a senior. She had several double-doubles as a senior, including 14 and 10 against us. For the first half of 2012-13, her stats were even better than those of Alissa Thomas, I believe. Tianna was drafted #6 overall by Seattle last year and is now playing for the Mystics.
From #133 in her class as a prep player to the #6 draft pick. Can Natalie follow a similar path? I don't know, but I'm not betting against her. It will be fun to watch Natalie develop.
