Valerie Higgins from Pacific went in the 3rd round, Chelsey Perry from UT Martin. I can't even keep track of who's making these picks in round 3.

So, ESPN isn't even bothering w/ the 3rd round other than the ticker. On to human interest stories.

 

[ScottCT]

Oh no. I'm being forced to cheer for Carrington.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aleah Goodman to Connecticut! Do they need a shooter?

 

[eebmg]

Oh no. I'm being forced to cheer for Carrington.

Think of the irony from her point of view

What a weird draft. I'm curious to see how many kids stick. Dallas had 4 interesting picks in Collier, Kuier, Dungee and Evans. Their roster is incredibly young and filled with players who look decent on paper but I'm not sure how they're planning to mold everyone together.

Roster right now:
Posts: Isabelle Harrison, Awak Kuier, Charli Collier, Bella Alarie, Megan Gustafson
Wings: Satou Sabally, Kayla Thornton, Alisha Gray, Chelsea Dungee
Guards/PG: Arike Ogunbowale, Marina Mabrey, Ty Harris, Dana Evans, Moriah Jefferson

Aside from Arike/Satou, it's a lot of good but not great players so I'm not sure who will stick and who gets cut. At first glance I'd think players like Gustafson, Dungee and Alarie look like weak links but I can't see them keeping 5 PG options or cutting Dungee, the #5 pick.
