WNBA draft, April 17

[JordyG]

Meg and Sabrina here in Brooklyn! This just got way better. No trading!

 

[JellyBean]

Pretty cool draft. Congrats, Megan on going to New York!! Awesome pick!!

 

[DeeHusky]

I think Mompremier goes to Phoenix

 

[DeeHusky]

oops my bad...I like the pick though, she can play

 

[Kaizen]

 

[DeeHusky]

She did not expect to go that early

 

[nwhoopfan]

I have to admit, I know nothing about Willoughby. Can't say that I watched Virginia at all this last season. Led the ACC in scoring, that says something about her.

 

[Dillon77]

Wow. Can't believe it seemed like a few years ago I was watching her play high school ball in Essex County, New Jersey at Newark Academy. One of Boyle's best recruits at UVA. Always played tough against ND. All power to her....works hard.

So who does the storm pick at 11?

 

[Plebe]

Willoughby is a good get for Phoenix. Under the radar because she was on a mediocre team, but she is a player and fills a position of need for them.

I was with you thinking Mompremier would go before Willoughby.

Nice interview. Good kid. Congrats

So who does the storm pick at 11?

Backup point guard for Jordan?

Backup point guard for Jordan?

I would love Crystal to go to Seattle under Sue's guidance

 

[DeeHusky]

The storm don’t need a point guard because they have Sue & Canada so it will probably be a Wing/post

 

[nwhoopfan]

Backup point guard for Jordan?

Best available? Fairly deep at all positions. Mompremier is sitting there but they are stacked in the front court. Could use more perimeter shooting.

 

[domerduck]

Love the Seattle statement---team needs "none". Nice when you have Stewart, Loyd, & Bird.

 

[DeeHusky]

Good pick

 

[nwhoopfan]

Laksa. There's the perimeter shooting I was just calling for.

 

[JordyG]

The storm don’t need a point guard because they have Sue & Canada so it will probably be a Wing/post

They could also use a young 2 guard. Sue isn't getting any younger.

 

[eebmg]

Really????? Laksja ????

 

[DeeHusky]

Wow!!!

 

[JordyG]

Liberty another guard. The team is really guard heavy now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jazmine Jones last pick of 1st round. Another surprise?

Still some decent players left slipping into round 2.

 

[DeeHusky]

I don’t even think Jones will make the roster to be really honest

 

[Hayven]

Liberty need a big, so I won’t be surprised if Mompremier goes to NY

edit:

 

[eebmg]

Liberty Jasmine Jones. No idea. Maybe Crystal will go to the Lynx at 16??

 

[JordyG]

Without a trade, how much PT is Jones going to see?

 

[DeeHusky]

I thought somebody would’ve picked Mompremier, Joyner Holmes, Kiah Gillespie or Kaila Charles by now but I guess everybody needs guards

 

[JordyG]

Liberty Jasmine Jones. No idea. Maybe Crystal will go to the Lynx at 16??

Wherever she goes look for her to be a career reserve.
