Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4284691, member: 5798"] If she does, she's all but guaranteed to make the cut. 1st round draft picks seldom get cut their rookie year. First round draft selection rights are too valuable to waste. All 12 WNBA clubs (general managers/coaches) understand the value of those picks and know they cannot afford to waste them on a player that is not a "can't miss." i.e., [B]NaLyssa Smith[/B] (Baylor) [B]Rhyne Howard[/B] (Kentucky). I agree with the general consensus that these two will be the first two players taken in tonight's draft. CW can go anywhere from 8-20 depending on the needs of the various teams that have picks in that range, and their perceptions of her. Based on her career awards below, I'd say she distinguished herself quite well this year. I've got to believe winning the Ann Meyers Drysdale award this year as "the best" shooting guard in the country along with the other 3 awards this year didn't hurt. She finished .454% from the field and .338% from beyond the arc and .685% from the line.
