WNBA Draft Thread

WOW did not know Kia Nurse was related to Darnell Nurse of the oilers, are they both related to Mcnabb?

[Vowelguy]

But not as nice as NYC or LA or Phoenix

Phoenix in the summer? Why not just visit the inside of a pizza oven?

So happy to see Kia goes to NYC ....

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

No way. She’d likely be behind many of McCowan, Brown, KLS, Ogunbowale, Durr, and Collier among others. This was her best chance to go high. Dallas got a steal nabbing her at 6....I thought Indiana should’ve taken her at 2.

Hopefully the CT Sun fans wont boo Brown just because she got picked instead of Nurse

From another thread

Hard to say if it should be Lexie or Kia. I'll be ok with either, I guess, but many fans that attend Sun games are emotionally just UConn fans to the exclusion of reason and basketball sense at times... they will be vocal and very unhappy if Kia is available and the Sun take a pass on her.

OMG i'm happy for our girls... I think each one will flourish with their new teams... I love love love that Kia went to NY. It'll be like coming home with 4 other huskies there And to learn some tricks of the trade from Katie Smith... I think Kia will be a beast in the WNBA....

Interesting Interview for Kia. Darnell drafted 7 Kia 10. Kia a bit pissed.

She mentioned she had long discussions with Liberty coach Katie Smith about what parts of her game she can improve in. Mid range and finishing around the basket and that Katie Smith can help with that.

Sparks probably got the best player available in the Draft in Maria Vadeeva of Russia. The question is, will she play in the WNBA. According to what I've read she seems willing. Probably being drafted by LA will help as she'll get plenty of publicity.

Ok. Only thing left to watch is if Natalie Butler goes before MR.

I will be mortified if that happens.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oh good! I was getting nervous that Gulich was going to slip out of the first round. Goes to Phoenix at #12.

Not far off - trust me!

 

[Magy Cannon]

Had everyone who was invited to NY been drafted?

 

[eebmg]

ESPNU time. Now a little analysis would be nice. Dallas with Cambage and Azure should be very interesting to watch.

not that i promote fan on fan violence..... but if you see anyone boo Lexie Brown...... well....... I can help with your bail

just messing

Billings was on the list of people invited - 10 were invited; 3 were selected who were not there. Billings wasn't selected.

The picks come in so fast, there isn't much time for analysis. I like how streamlined it is though, not like the NBA or NFL where they take forever between picks.

Jamie Nared

 

[eebmg]

Surprised Nared went before MR. Nared had a tough 2nd half.

Monique Billings is the only one left

Boos will probably for the man from

 

[triaddukefan]

Hopefully Indiana picks Billings .... someone anyone pick her soon
