WNBA Draft Thread

[nwhoopfan]

I thought she was being undervalued even though she is injured. Had BU had her, their fate might have been different. Happy for her!

I'm not a Baylor fan, but she's a player I really appreciated. I was sorry to see her get injured late in the season.

Triad, it pains me more than I can say to have to admit this, but it is possible that a few might do this. Also painful... I can promise you that NY's UConn players will get a bigger hand during intros than any Sun player except maybe Tuck.

I'm not bothered by Sun fans cheering ex-UConn players during intros. So long as they cheer the Sun players once the game starts.

They aren't even trying now. 3 picks have come in and they're busy talking to Kia's brother about the NHL? Really?

She was a fan favorite. I love her hustle and never quit attitude. She would have been a fan favorite anywhere.

This is worse than even the WCBB Selection Show Didnt think that was possible

 

[stwainfan]

Russell to NY.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mercedes Russell went #22.

[Zanzman]

Dallas picks butler at 30

 

[nwhoopfan]

Natalie Butler goes #30 to Dallas.

 

[nwhoopfan]

They're halfway thru the 3rd round, you'd never know it unless you are watching the ticker at the bottom of the screen. Haven't actually announced any of the 3rd round picks.

 

[triaddukefan]

Welp.... both players in my avatar got drafted tonight........ Greenwell to Washington at 31.

 

[eebmg]

Natalie Butler goes #30 to Wings. Z and Butler. Wow

 

[Plebe]

Butler goes in the middle of the 3rd round. Which was my prediction except I didn't dare say it lest I get shouted down by her legion of promoters.

 

[Zanzman]

Robinson free m Princeton is that Obama’s niece

What were the promoters saying?

 

[nwhoopfan]

The Lynx select Carli Wagner from Minnesota, last pick of the draft.

 

[Kaizen]

Natalie will play with Saniya and Z .. I definitely will watch all Dallas games.

You must have ESP N.

 

[Vowelguy]

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.

A 6'6" player who can both play in the post and step outside to hit 3s is superstar potential. She's not that now but I think Geno was on the way to getting her there.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lynx trade top to 2 picks to Las Vegas for Jill Barta and future pick.

 

[Roger G]

What were the promoters saying?

I'll own up. I said she would go late first, early second. Most of the Mock Drafts had her going late second.

Don't bother telling me I was wrong. Easy to say now.

 

[psconn]

During the Mercedes Russell pick discussion did anyone notice that Rebecca said that there was no defensive 3 second call in the W?
This is not true.

 

[Vowelguy]

Not to be Debby Downer, but worth noting that in previous years almost no one drafted below 18 survived cuts.

As long as you dont bring up my mock draft from last April

 

[Zanzman]

Yes she is

 

[CocoHusky]

I remember many more saying she would not get drafted.

 

[Shades]

The Lynx select CarliE Wagner from Minnesota, last pick of the draft.

Woo Hoo!

 

[baggerbob]

Jordin Canada goes 5th.

Seattle went from a playoff team to being in the lottery next year. Can't score if you can't rebound, and nothing was done to remedy that fact.

 

[willtalk]

Which is another reason why they should have given second and third rounders at least the airtime it takes to announce them as picks. I didn't switch to ESPNU to listen to their fill time blather. These people are so full of themselves. Makes me start to dislike them more and more.
