Message: [QUOTE="cabbie191, post: 2177793, member: 417"] As always, it's subjective to come up with one's definition of "top" but for the purpose of this thread, consider that last year there were approximately 3,600 Division 1 women's basketball players. For sake of an easier argument, lets say the players are evenly distributed by class - so that there were 900 players who were seniors. The WNBA only drafts 36 players a year. I would submit that any player who gets drafted (or in the case of Mitchell is considered a likely draft pick when she graduates) is a top player, even if they don't make a roster. These 4 may not all be Diana Turasi or Beanna Steward "top", but they're still way better than average. BTW, according to NCAA statistics, the probability of getting drafted into the WNBA is lower than for any other major sport (football, MBB, ice hockey and soccer). [/QUOTE]
