WNBA draft?

[Blakeon18]

When is it? I assume it is on TV?

Go Tiffany!!

Monday April 16....3:00. The first round is on ESPN...the later rounds on ESPNU or NBATV.

Is that later than usual? I thought it was just days after the Final Four in past years.

It was moved back...gives a little more time if certain eligible players might want to think about their decision not to come out

If the board has already had this discussion, I apologize. What are Novosel and Peters' WNBA prospects?

I would expect that they are.

Someone will pick up Peters, she is long and athletic. Novosel might get a tryout, but I don't see her making an impact. She lokos similar to Whalen but isn't as quick. That driving to the basket and getting fouled isn't going to fly in the WNBA, and she doesn't have an outstanding midrange game or deadly 3 point shot. She plays good defense, but I don't know that she matches up well with WNBA guards...

But who knows? If she finds the right team, she might do well. She is very, very tough.

Thanks. Makes sense.

Can we take up a collection to get Diggins to go to the WNBA early? I honestly don't want to see her smug face or listen to her whining for another year!

While not commenting on her face or words (see, mods, I can be taught), the last thing I want is Diggins leaving early. I will relish seeing her play within the revised UConn-NotreDame reality of next year. Without as strong a surrounding cast, I am looking for Chicken Little to be right.
