Message: [QUOTE="Dugway, post: 5081605, member: 13446"] Recall, Nika was the 14th player selected in the draft. Maybe we should look at other players who were drafted similarly, their volume of use, and progress? So, since Nika was 14th, what do you say we start at #9; who was #9? Carla Leite selected by the Dallas Wings. She never showed up to training camp, simply remained overseas. It was an Olympic year, she is from France, but I don’t believe that she played for the French team (neither 3x3 nor the 5x5 team). She just knew that she was not playing in the WNBA. Moving on, who was the tenth player selected? Leila Lacan who was drafted by the Connecticut Sun. Oddly, exact same as with Leite, Lacan didn’t show up to training camp, simply remained overseas. She is also French, however unlike Leite, she did actually play for the national team winning Silver in the Olympics. A step up from riding the pine here in the WNBA! Moving on, who was the eleventh player selected? Marquesha Davis drafted by the New York Liberty. Davis, made the team, same as Nika. Davis is by in large the last player off their bench, averages 3.6 minutes per game … sound familiar? Who was the twelfth player selected? Nyadiew Puoch was the 12th and last player drafted in the first round, by the Atlanta Dream. Similar to the way Leite, and Lacan, didn’t show up to training camp, Puoch simply remained overseas, electing not play in the WNBA. Australian, however did not play for the Olympic national team. Moving onto the 13th selection, Brynna Maxwell, selected by the Chicago Sky – cut from the roster in training camp. Nika was of course 14th; subject of this thread. 15th was Celeste Taylor, selected by the Indiana Fever and cut from the roster in training camp. Midseason, she signed with Phoenix Mercury for seven days. A month or so later, she signed with the Connecticut Sun for seven days. Guess how many minutes per game she played? [B]Summary[/B]; #9 through 36th … the ONLY player who has any contribution of any significance is Kate Martin for the Las Vegas Aces. Nika Muhl and Marquesha Davis both made the cut, and nobody else even made a cut. NIKA IS DOING JUST FINE! [/QUOTE]
