WNBA Draft

[semper]

I'm bummed....it all has to do with scoring...they are nuts.

OMG, seriously? Mathies over Kelly? I know I am biased, but Kelly totally shut her down. Twice.

Sorry for turning this into a Kelly Faris love-fest.

No need to apologize - you are correct: The teams that have passed on Kelly will all discover Kelly is a STOPPER

WOOOOOHHHOOOOOOO....

Faris to Connecticut Sun!!!!

 

[speedoo]

A'dia Mathies (Kentucky) to LA at #10.

Really a dumb pick.

 

[WNBARookFan]

Personally, I'd rather Faris had not gone to the Sun. But congrats Kelly! It'll be great to see you play this summer!

 

[UConnChapette]

Looks like I will be going to some Sun games this summer

 

[semper]

This is FABULOUS!!!

 

[CL82]

I'm bummed no interview.

 

[UConnChapette]

Kelly looked gorgeous! Never seen curles in her hair before. It is a good look for her!

 

[UConnChapette]

I'm bummed no interview.

The hoarde will be all over it, and I would bet local news will have something.

 

[Patty Bailey]

So glad Kelly is staying in CT - hopefully we can get to some Sun games this season!

Amazing to me that when Geno says (paraphrasing) "Kelly is a top two of people he's coached who have not been All American", that WNBA coaches all think they know better.

Dang - by the time she made it to 11 I was really hoping she would make it to 12 and join Maya in MN! Not sure I trust the new Sun coach and I think the team is not as good a fit as MN would be. In some ways it seems she duplicates talent they already have.
Totally agree a few of the teams from 4- 10 are going to be bummed they passed on Kelly.

 

[RS9999X]

As expected. The mock drafts that were picking on pure scoring talent and flash (the type of stuff that keeps GMs employed) passed over Farris in the first round. Most mock drafts went that way. Those that considered the homer angle had the Sun.

Congatulations to MS. Farris. A fan favorite I'm sure she won't disappoint.

Yo, "Coach" Peck! If Mike T. is gonna help develop Kelly, they're gonna have to trade her to DC.

Greene and Hightower are already there. So I'm not sure if all 3 will still be on the team...

I agree, she would have been a great fit with the Lynx.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I was hoping for Indiana or Minnesota, but I'm happy for Kelly to be going to the Sun.

 

[ThisJustIn]

Trades can still happen....

 

[MilfordHusky]

Greene and Hightower are already there. So I'm not sure if all 3 will still be on the team...

I think one of them could be gone.

 

[semper]

I was so hoping for the Fever or the Lynx...but it got so I just wanted to be sure she went in the first round.

 

[Phil]

I'm bummed no interview.

Exactly. They tried to talk to Griner, who still cannot talk. What a waste,. At least Kelly can talk.

I think Mulkey has been a decent coach, but I hold this against her.

There was absolutely no question when Griner was going to go, there was no question who was going to pick her. Write out a speech and practice it. Over and over. This is Kim's fault, and it isn't the first time.

 

[UcMiami]

Hadn't really thought about it but Chicago is going to be very interesting next year with EDD and Sylvia. Not sure what the rest of their team looks like, but that is a pretty interesting pair.

Yo, "Coach" Peck! If Mike T. is gonna help develop Kelly, they're gonna have to trade her to DC.

I can't believe no one called her on it, although I walked out, so if it happened later, I missed it.
