WNBA draft, April 17

[JordyG]

Seattle took Holmes. Maybe that coach will be the one that gets her to change her diet and training regime. There's a ton of talent in that body but it'll take a lifestyle change and a ton of work.

Happy to see the league not miss a beat with this virtual draft

 

[Dillon77]

The new Liberty coach wants to spread the floor and push the pace huh? Shook?

Well, Ionescu, Meg and Jones can all run. And someone has to get them the ball. Having watched her for four years, Shook has always been able to block shots, but she rebounds better every year. And she's got a good jumper up to and just past the elbow. Will take a three now and then, too.

Lot of players there in Brooklyn, though, too. Will see if there's any trades afterwards.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mompremier all the way down to #20 to LA. Good luck to her making the team, their front court is loaded.

 

[DeeHusky]

I am too lazy to look it up. How many teams are there where that wouldn't be the case?

I think the Aces, Fever and the Sparks are the only teams with no UConn alums

 

[JordyG]

I wouldn’t have picked her that high but she does have talent and can also shoot the three.

But the new GM wants push the pace, spread the floor and run everyone to the 3pt. line. Shook will be the last one down. Odom now, she's an interesting pick. If she gets her head right, increases her motor, works her game and gets in the weight room she could be something in 2 years.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ouch. Pivec not taken in the 2nd round. Some early projections had her late 1st round.

 

[domerduck]

3 German players taken in the top 22 and 1 Latvian.

 

[eebmg]

Ok. Names are now unrecognizable,

 

[domerduck]

Ouch. Pivec not taken in the 2nd round. Some early projections had her late 1st round.

They probably thinks she wants to be a doctor.

 

[eebmg]

Ouch. Pivec not taken in the 2nd round. Some early projections had her late 1st round.

and she was glammed up prior to the draft

 

[domerduck]

I think the Aces, Fever and the Sparks are the only teams with no UConn alums

And they each have ND alums.

 

[eebmg]

I think the Logistics of this virtual draft has been very solid.

 

[nwhoopfan]

There's MIk at #25 to Atlanta.

 

[DeeHusky]

Ouch. Pivec not taken in the 2nd round. Some early projections had her late 1st round.

You remember all that talk you had about her before the season? Now look

 

[eebmg]

Pivec at #25 to Atlanta. Being interviewed

 

[nwhoopfan]

You remember all that talk you had about her before the season? Now look

I think that was probably more a different OSU fan.

 

[nwhoopfan]

NY takes another G. Erica Ogwumike. They have about 12 guards on the roster currently.

 

[Lawrence]

I'm happy CD went to Minnesota.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Kaila Charles to the Connecticut Suns. So the Suns have two players who can't shoot the three pointers. But they'll be murder on the fast breaks.

 

[DeeHusky]

I think that was probably more a different OSU fan.

No, that was you, I remember it specifically being you

 

[eebmg]

NY takes another G. Erica Ogwumike. They have about 12 guards on the roster currently.

Space the floor.

Geez, the Houston Rockets should not be our vision.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Seattle drafted Haley Gorecki at #31. Looks like they were going with shooters with their picks.

 

[DeeHusky]

I did not expect Kiah Gillespie would go that low

 

[Hayven]

Gillespie to Chicago

 

[nwhoopfan]

No, that was you, I remember it specifically being you

Okay, I don't recall what I posted before the season started. I know LoTrader is a huge Pivec fan, he's not on this board anymore.

 

[eebmg]

Seattle drafted Haley Gorecki at #31. Looks like they were going with shooters with their picks.

I like Gorecki. Smart player. Not sure Kaleena survives,

 

[Kaizen]

No one from Stanford?

 

[nwhoopfan]

The 2nd and 3rd round went by so fast it was hard to focus on the picks. Brittany Brewer to Atlanta is an interesting pick.

 

[DeeHusky]

I like Gorecki. Not sure Kaleena survives,

Kaleena is with the Sun now, she was traded for a second round pick from Seattle
