WNBA Draft Begins

Dales to Washington with the #3 pick -
A great honor for Dales. Now let's hope this is the beginning of better things for the most dismal franchise in the WNBA or that Washington trades Dales!

I've never been a WNBA fan. Just not interested - and not team is close to Norman. But I am one now. Go MYSTICS!

Big 12 in the first round:

3: Dales to Washington
7: Lambert to Charlotte
11: Crockrom to Utah
14: Caufield to Utah
16: Ross to L.A.

Welle fell all the way to #31 (Cleveland). She was the only conference player selected in round 2. I suspect Nighingale and Gahan are among the conference people who might be called in the not-too-far future.

I'm good...

Third round B12 picks
37. Nightingale to Portland
46. Gahan to New York

You're right Mandy went to Portland (37th overall) and Gahan (46th overall) went to New York in the third round.

It is a shame Lambert fell out of the top 5, almost certainly because of her injury. That is going to cost her money. On the positive side, I think Charlotte might be a good team for her.

I expect we'll see some trades during the coming days.
