Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3664349, member: 1131"] There certainly have been a number of such players. From a UConn perspective, Tiffany Hayes (drafted in the second round, about the same place as Crystal) is an obvious choice. Another UConn grad who might fit the description is Charde Houston, who was drafted in the [B]third[/B] round (around 30th) by Minnesota, and actually made the WNBA West's All Star team in one of her early years before she flamed out. Another major example is Allie Quigley out of DePaul, who was drafted in the second round and bounced around several teams and was even out of the league for a season before she found a big place on her hometown team. But my favorite example is Becky Hammon, who was [B]not even drafted[/B] but became a perennial All Star for about a decade in the WNBA. She was not highly recruited out of high school either.
