Saniya Chong #26 WNBA

[Striper69]

Very ironic it was Dallas that selected her. I'm predicting that she makes the team. She just started scratching the surface of her potential this past season. She has the skills, and the pedigree. WNBA coaches know the Huskies can play the game at this level.

She played on a team that only lost 2 games in her college career. Her having a few issues on five of the teams of the century can be overlooked.

Now we may see the real Saniya...

She will turn out to be "the hidden gem" of this draft.

Didn't expect her to "go that early".

Too soon?

1. Not a great college career, yet I still find it difficult to accept that there were 25 players better than Ms Chong.

I was surprised she didn't go before the end of the second round.

I've noticed that the people doing the drafting for the W don't put as high a value on winning as I would when evaluating the players. There are years when I haven't heard of half the players drafted because I don't often watch second-tier teams, but good players on top teams go undrafted. Karlie Samuelson surprised me this year (maybe she has indicated she doesn't want to continue in basketball?). Madison Cable last year -- honorable mention all-American, tough as nails on a top team, I just don't get it.

A very crowded roster there. Maybe best if she gets cut quickly, and is free to latch on somewhere else.

Congrats Saniya

Baylor has four players who have signed camp contracts: Davis, Cave, Prince and Jones. I am glad to see Davis and Cave getting an opportunity with the Sparks but that will be a tough roster to make. Jones and Prince are locks, IMO, with the Lynx and the Mercury.

I hope Chong does well. She can definitely be a threat from the outside and is a very heady player. And winners win.

Atlanta picked Reynolds when Chong, Epps and January were available. I will appreciate if somebody explains how this makes sense.
I just do not know enough about WCBB/WNBA to justify it myself.

Reynolds has been cut by Atlanta dream.
Chong, Epps and January are still alive.

I went to the Dallas/Atlanta game in Dallas today to see Allisha Gray and Kaela Davis play. Saniyah just played a few minutes so I couldn't tell a lot about how she's doing. Dallas needs a front court really bad.

I love that it says she formerly played for the Huskies in the semi pro NCAA league

Well to be fair roughly ~80% of the players on the team eligible to go to the WNBA since her freshman year are in the WNBA.
'14 (2/2); '15 (2/2); '16 (3/4); '17 (1/2)

Yes, sorry. I really do know that I was in Atlanta and not Dallas, lol.
