WNBA Draft Thread

Jonquel Jones is a player. She was a McD's AA who went to Clemson then GW, so she was under the radar.

Stewie! Hugs from family, Geno, Mo. Standing O from teammates.

I could hear Kia's scream over the crowd noise, always the hardest worker in the bunch!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Mystics, my local team, on the clock. Coach Mike is a good judge of talent.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Mystics take Kahleah Copper 7th, still no Courtney Williams

 

[RockyMTblue2]

The perfect end to a perfect season. This is BIG. BIG. BIG.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Good call by Rebecca on Copper from Rutgers.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Copper was 3rd in career scoring at Rutgers. Impressive!

 

[HoopsFan21]

8th pick Courtney Williams to Phoenix

 

[MilfordHusky]

Dee will teach Courtney.

What is up with the fist bump and three fingers for top three picks? Am I missing something? Will see what they do for #4

It's a fist bump and a W. (Took me long enough to figure it out.)

 

[Vowelguy]

Top players still on the board
Boyette - consensus 7th pick
Mitchell - 9th
Weisner - 10th

Ooooohhhhhh.....would not have figured that. Thanks.

Morgan said a lot of the UConn fans wanted her to stay an extra year, so she's staying, just playing for a different team, and that she loves Connecticut and the fans and is excited.

"Our coach knows what he's doing and made us the best players possible" I think I quoted her correctly. That should help with recruiting.

Tiffany Mitchell goes 9th to Indiana

 

[noirwestern]

Dee will teach Courtney.

She had a great reaction when Rowe pointed that out to her. Speechless and awed at the same time.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Rebecca called the pick of Tiffany Mitchell.

Dawn is there with her.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Boyette is wearing a nice dress and heels. She's 7' tall in heels.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Bria Holmes to Atlanta to play with Angel and Tiff.

 

[MumboJumbo]

Stewie's reaction when Tuck was picked 3rd at around 0:25

So glad that Courtney Williams got some first round love. She will have a long career in the WNBA and will be a good fit in Phoenix. Not a super star, but a really solid player who will up good numbers every year for them.

 

[BRS24]

TAMU's Courtney Walker and Washington's Talia Walton invited to draft but not taken in 1st round. Hate seeing that.

Boyette is wearing a nice dress and heels. She's 7' tall in heels.

Boyette to Chicago. Meh. Delle Donne needed some help and didn't really get it. I suppose she's going to have more of an impact than Bulgak would.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Bulgak to NY to play with Tina and Kiah. Talllllll!

 

[Orangutan]

Boyette to Chicago. Meh. Delle Donne needed some help and didn't really get it. I suppose she's going to have more of an impact than Bulgak would.

Pokey was pretty honest about wanting a defensive-minded interior player. Boyette fits that description.

I've always thought she was a stiff that was overrated because of her size. But we'll see. Probably a better fit for CHI than Bulgak but I like Bulgak better overall.

Question: Does the NY Liberty still own Michala Johnson's rights? Or is she draft eligible again this draft? I don't know the WNBA rule on this.
