WNBA Draft Tonight 04/13/ at 7PM ESPN2

[triaddukefan]

Agreed!!

The lady in the interview said that Coffey led Northwestern to the NCAA tourney

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I think it's very telling Kaela Davis hasn't been selected yet IMO!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Davis is from Atlanta so maybe that's where she goes!??

 

[eebmg]

Here comes the Sun. I think Kaela Davis may be good to fill the hole of not having China? or Brionna Jones for post help?

 

[EricLA]

Sykes is another player who I think was overlooked. Of course Syracuse had a pretty brutal season - especially for bringing all their players back from their NC appearance last year. I thought Peterson would have gone before Sykes, but I'm not familiar enough with their individual games to know what a WNBA GM would be looking for...

 

[Blueballer]

I would have taken Jones before Coates.

 

[EricLA]

Can't argue with Jones there. I think she will be a solid pro... I actually prefer her over Coates, but not sure who has more upside.

 

[eebmg]

Jones is a good pick at #8 I think for the Sun

 

[eebmg]

Tori Jankoska at #9? I don't see her as a first round talent?

 

[EricLA]

Jankoski is another good pick. not sure who ended up on the 2nd team AA but Peterson, Sykes, Coffey and Jankoska are all kids who should have been near the top of AA honors this year...

I like seeing these kids who went to "lesser hyped" schools getting some recognition for how good they are - even tho there were rarely talked about on a national level during the season. Their scoring averages were consistently in the top 10 for most of the year...

 

[HuskyFan1125]

@ericsandiego i couldn't agree with you more!

 

[eebmg]

Kaela Davis at #10. She is a good pick for the Wings. Should be a good pro.

 

[EricLA]

Sid Weise - Meh. Not sure she even makes LA's roster. We will see though. I could be wrong!!

 

[Blueballer]

Sid Weise - Meh. Not sure she even makes LA's roster. We will see though. I could be wrong!!

They compared her to Katie Douglas. Maybe in size but Katie was one tough cookie.

 

[eebmg]

Sid Weise - Meh. Not sure she even makes LA's roster. We will see though. I could be wrong!!

Wiese made a point that her 3 pt shot is odd (also a lefty) and that may be to her advantage. Problem is it that she shoots it so far ahead of her body and not at the highest point that I worry it is easier to block once you see it a few times.

 

[triaddukefan]

Glad to see Alexis Jones get drafted.


That 2012-13, 2013-2014 Duke team had 4 eventual WNBA #1 round picks starting

 

[uconnever]

That #2 pick was baaaad

 

[EricLA]

I think Seattle got a good one with Peterson slipping to #3 in the 2nd round. Not sure about the Sun's choice of Shayla Cooper.

 

[triaddukefan]

Seattle got a steal.

 

[uconnever]

Seattle got a steal.

Agreed ....and Cooper was also a bad pick.

 

[eebmg]

Not sure how Lindsey Allen will fit in with the Liberty. I think Peterson would have been better. I agree the storm got a steal and may actually be better than Jewell Loyd in the long run

 

[uconnever]

Great pick for Sun

 

[eebmg]

Great pick for Sun

Agree. Leticia Romero is a winner.

 

[EricLA]

I forgot about McCall. I think she could be a very good pro as well. This class may not be filled with uber super stars, but it seems to be filled with a lot of very solid players who could be around in the league for years to come...

Romero is a great pick for the Sun. IMHO they should have taken McCall over Cooper.

 

[Orangutan]

Not sure how Lindsey Allen will fit in with the Liberty. I think Peterson would have been better. I agree the storm got a steal and may actually be better than Jewell Loyd in the long run

Gonna bookmark this for when Loyd is an all-star and Peterson is struggling to make rosters.
