Player Rankings for WNBA Draft

How she performs this year will determine where she goes in the draft.

Are we talking about the WNBA draft or how she will perfom at UCONN this year?

I suspect the two are not unrelated.

Kiah looks like she hit the weight room pretty hard during the off season. My only dig with her has been the same for the last two seasons.... she doesn't have that aggressive nature. If she played with a bit of reckless abandon like the O' sisters she would be unstoppable.

Last year Kiah had a 60% FG percentage - the best on the team, and those who watched the
recent first night festivities saw her knock down a three during the scrimmage.

Her team doesn't need her to be a 20 point per night scorer, but I suspect she will end up
the season with a double digit average.

If Kiah Stokes ends the year with a double figure scoring average, UCONN will win every game by 20+ and never be challenged.

Since I always liked Kiah, I hope it plays out in exactly that fashion.

It's going to be interesting. I'm hoping she does well this year.

My feeling is that Kiah will dial it up as much as she is encouraged to...which I doubt will include any instructions that include "reckless abandon." She needs to keep her defender honest or the paint will become a problem. My money is on the lady with the killer smile...

I look for Welch to move up to top 3, possibly top 2. She has explosive athleticism.

Lisa may be my all time favorite Gamecock women's player. I have a feeling that Bianca Cuevas is going to be a favorite this season for me. I love me a little NYC attitude.

We all think Kiah will be great this year but based on three years of college to date - she did nothing the first two years and was a very good bench player last year. She should play herself up this list this year, but being on the list at all is pretty good before the season.

I think Kiah will do as well as Geno allows her to be. He has a tendency to hold her back and put her in the doghouse at times. That would hurt her draft status. GENO has the deepest team he has had in a long time, so he can "play games" with the players since his team will hardly be challenged this year.
