Where will Kiah be Drafted.

[Wbbfan1]

Its more difficult to have an individual Pick criteria, instead I'll use a Range of Picks. I've seen mock drafts where Kiah is selected in the 1st as well as the 2nd Round.

 

[Geno-ista]

I have no idea where she will go- but I hope she lands on the right team that needs her in the same role we used her in. she will have a long successful career in my opinion. Healthy Athletic phenomenal player who can hold the line off the bench and battle bigs at the 4 position. I think she is going to have a very solid career!

Kiah will be drafted at the Mohegan Sun. That is where draft is held. She will go from pick 5 to 10. first round of course.

 

[Adesmar123]

Mohegan Sun in Uncasville? But that wasn't one of the choices.

 

[McHuskyFan]

I hope she goes earlier than expected, but I really hope she goes to a team that will appreciate her !! Ditto for her classmate KML! <3

 

[Striper69]

Chicago at #5.

I think she gets drafted but whether or not she makes the final roster is another question

 

[HGN]

I say late First to early 2nd Round...............At this point in her development , Kiah is a Luxury item. She will go to a team that has all the offense it needs but is in need of interior defense. Her offense will come , but I see her as a defensive specialist that could be available late in the First Round.

So sayeth Altavilla:

"Meanwhile, Kiah Stokes, who set UConn's single-season record for blocked shots this season, seems a likely early to middle second-round pick. She just doesn't score enough to merit a higher selection."

 

[alexrgct]

Where will Kiah be drafted? To the WNBA, of course...

Chi-Town should be licking their chops right now...

Where can I find mock drafts. Usually, by now, there are predictions on WNBA.com, but I have not seen any.

Maybe...but I doubt it's for Stokes. Hamby or Gray at PF would fill a bigger need.

 

[CL82]

I think we may under value Kia. She is an incredible athlete who could fill a defensive role for a lot of teams. Pair her with know scorers and she could get a lot burn from day 1.

You're prolly right. They never do what I tell them to do...

Scorers (better known as "gunners" et al) are a dime a dozen...

someone like her who is a natural rebounder/shot blocker is rare as hen's teeth (once again pulling out the worn out cliches).

With her getting the rebound and kicking it back out to Sloot with Cappie, EDD or Quigley around this could be the Sky's year.

The Year Of The Sky!

When I look at this year's draft I really only see three, possibly four sure fire difference makers! Loyd,KML, Zahui, and possibly Harrison. All the rest are just possibles. Sure, 2 or 3 will fall into optimal situations and become, if not stars, solid pieces for their team. I believe Kiah will go, certainly in the first round, to a team that recognizes that it's smarter to roll the dice and choose someone who is halfway exceptional over someone who is wholly average. Exceptionality is a rare commodity that is highly sought after in professional sports, while average usually gets shown the door. Anyway, I will be very surprised if Kiah slips out of the first round!

 

[DishNSwish]

I won't be surprised if she slips to early 2nd round, ala Tiffany Hayes. She is invited though.

Curious as to what makes you think Harrison is a difference maker over someone like Hamby ?

 

[Striper69]

Kiah Stokes will go to either Chi-Town or Minny.

You heard it here first...

I think we are co-driving the Hamby bandwagon. I can't wait to see her play with real teammates.

 

[svetbird]

I have a bad feeling she will go 3rd round. I think she is a great pick but everyone seems to undervalue her. She is one of the best defenders in the world and will contribute a lot as long as a team is willing to give up a bit of offense (although she is good at generating it for others). A championship caliber team should grab her, but I am not sure they will.
