Pick #4 Gabby Williams

I'm pleasantly surprised and so happy for her!

Jordin Canada goes 5th.

 

[triaddukefan]

meh

What does everyone think about Diamond and Gabby together? It kinds of seems like their personalities might clash. And the commentators don't make it much better when they emphasize that if DD is an elite athlete, Gabby is an ELITE athlete. Lol which I think would effect DD's ego. But going forward, they are very exciting prospects and together should be even better. I know that UConn fans will be forever comparing the two, well as long as they're together.

Jordin Canada goes 5th.

Not unexpected. Should be a good fit.

WOW. I thought Seattle the Stevens gift. But now that I think about it, she's a poor man's version of Stewie. Seattle drafted their Bird replacement.

The #5 pick Jordin Canada

Stevens is a pure 5 imo.

Mistake by them.

 

[the Q]

Proud. And wow, Gabby looks amazing.

Stunning is even an insult.

Wow. Just wow.

The #3 pick Divamond DeShields

Curiously, the only time I noticed her smile was when she mentioned Chicago has a baseball team. Her dad played for the Cubs.

Will be interesting to see what type of Pro Z will be. Does she play like she did at Duke playing mostly on the Wing or does she continue to develop her lost post game that the UConn coaches wanted her to do.

 

[Vowelguy]

Stevens would've been top 2 or 3 if she stayed another year.

 

[Wbbfan1]

CT Sun traded their first round pick to Atlanta for Bria Holmes.

 

[WLT1717]

Great to see a player not invited to draft picked early. Good luck Ariel Atkins!!

 

[sivad40]

Ariel Atkins goes 7th, and that's a surprise.

 

[stwainfan]

Where does McCarty go?

 

[HawkHusky]

Atkins?

 

[triaddukefan]

Curveball

 

[Reypl21]

Stevens is not a pure 5. Dallas got a steal! They also return Liz Cambage. People thought that Z would benefit playing alongside a physical post. Well, she's getting a very physical one to play with.

 

[HawkHusky]

Maybe Kia to the Sun?!?!?!!?!?!

 

[hoopsdiva]

CT Sun traded their first round pick to Atlanta for Bria Holmes.

I thought it was their second round pick.

 

[Zanzman]

CT Sun traded their first round pick to Atlanta for Bria Holmes.

No second round this year and next

 

[Vowelguy]

Where does McCarty go?

Tough to go very high when you're 5'3/5'4, unless you're faster than the wind, which she isnt.

#7 pick Ariel Atkins (wasn't invited to the draft)

 

[EricSD]

Did anyone notice Gabby's tattoo on her back? It's enormous - goes down her spine from the top down, and over to her left shoulder. Could not make it out - maybe some Asian characters and other stuff?

Looking at the girls who are 4s, z is lumbering comparatively.

 

[Shades]

Where does McCarty go?

I'd guess third round at best

 

[Huskie78]

In my head I hear: "Gabby and the Sky with Diamond"

To the tune of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

Love that!!
I will go to as many games as I can. Was kind of hoping for this since it's a short drive from South Bend to Chicago.
Probably cost more to park than for a ticket to the game.
But go, I will!! Thrilled!!
