WNBA Draft 2015

[psconn]

Geez. That can be said about the vast majority of the players drafted. Why does Michala get a special (pejorative) mention. It's an accomplishment to get drafted at all. Can't we just celebrate that?

Your own statement says it all. It's very hard to make a WNBA roster. Not pejorative, just factual. Go ahead and celebrate, I won't stop you.

With Harrison being selected in the first round..... does that make it the first Brother/Sister duo ever being selected in the Pro basketball first round? Her brother was a 1st round pick back in the early 2000s

Reggie Miller and Cheryl Miller.

You got a scouting report on her? I'd love to hear it.

Laney is a bit of a tweeter in the WNBA because of her heights (6ft), but she has a pro-ready body and has drastically improved her guard skills while at RU. She is deadly from midrange and in transition, and has worked hard on developing a 3-pt shot. Incredibly strong lower body, and she's an instinctual rebounder who has a sense for where the ball will go off the rim--she had close to 20 double doubles this year.

Crap... my 3rd favorite player of all time just got traded to the Sun

Guess this means Azura Stevens will be drafted by the Sun in 2018

And the Sun trade Hrynko to Atlanta for..... Jasmine Thomas. A Trifecta of Dukie!!!
Chelsea, Elizabeth and Jasmine. I'm no fan of Duke, but since its all about the laundry... welcome aboard! They seem like a good bunch of 'kids'.

Elizabeth Williams must be happy as hell. She finally gets to wear a "Connecticut" jersey instead of getting destroyed by others girls wearing Connecticut jerseys.

[and after all, it is the secret dream of every Dookie (and ND player) to wear the UConn Blue]

At least the crappy fans in attendance could have clapped a bit...... from the shots they took of the audience...... they looked like a bunch of constipated grumps waiting for the Milk of Magnesia to kick in

Thats the way it looked on TV.... perhaps Im wrong.

 

[triaddukefan]

Reggie Miller and Cheryl Miller.

They didnt have the WNBA back then.... did Cheryl Miller ever play in a pro league in the US ?

 

[triaddukefan]

You must root for Connecticut basketball. ASSIMILATE.

Ive dated two women from Hartford...... Ive caused enough problems for Connecticut without having me root for them

Well, I was one of the crappy fans who stood and cheered. She seemed to get a pretty good welcome and Holly even mentioned it in the interview. Didn't bring the house down, but it was pretty good.

KML goes to Seattle too.....after Jewell. ND just can't seem to shake these Huskies no matter how far they venture.

In her interview, KML said she roomed with Jewel as junior players. She talks to Jewel. KML told Jewel that K was great at the alley oop pass. Jewel responded that she can kick it out. Sounds like they will get along great.

Ok... when they showed the crowd..... it didnt look like a happy bunch.... perhaps it was just that particular section.

Let's be real here. Madison Cable seems like a nice kid, a really hard working team player, big-heart, tough, versatile, but undersized, not a WNBA-level athlete and lacking WNBA-level skillsets. Cable reminds me a whole lot of a kid I just LOVED but who has sadly been unable to play (yet) at the pro level- Kelly Faris. And I think Kelly was better than Madison in almost every aspect of her game. So Cable staying in school and getting her advanced degree absolutely makes good sense. I don't see Madison ever being even a marginal WNBA player, especially with their short rosters.

I don't think it was between her going pro and coming back. Her boyfriend just signed with the Blackhawks and is playing for their AHL team in Rockford. I thought she might have been tempted to take a job in Chicago.

I definitely agree regarding her pro potential - it's not quite there. But I took the positive route instead of saying she won't be drafted next year anyway.

She got drafted by three leagues, including the USBL, a men's league. She did play for a while then blew out her knee. She turned to coaching pretty quickly.

Most of last years players made the teams.

Ying and yang...

She hit that clutch shot at the end of the SC game so I wouldn't write her off just yet.

That's what I was thinking- a very distinct Duke flavor to this Sun team.

Atlanta drafted Sam Logic, so they were heavy with PGs. Shoni may get some more PT, but I'd love to see her get fitter. She looked out of shape when L'ville was televised.

Pun intended? lol

I thought they were going to unload her when they drafted Logic.

I'm holding out hope that she surprises everyone when the season opens...

WOW. Didn't know that about Fowles

I missed the draft. What did we learn about Fowles?

LOL!

That place looks little on tv. If it's the place where they play BB it's very deceiving. That place is pretty big!

Do they let everyone get a ticket to the draft?

Per Lobo, she wants a trade. Chicago cored her but she hasn't signed the tender yet.

Did y'all notice that both UCONN women wore dresses?

 

[MilfordHusky]

They went to Ms. Dailey's Finishing School. Both of them looked great.

I haven't been there, but I think it was in a theater that's part of the complex, not the arena.
