WNBA DRAFT!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[KCOTT]

It's live! Like a few hours ago or something, in case you've missed the heart-stopping action, here's how the first round went:

Round 1
1. Nneka Ogwumike [+] Los Angeles Sparks
2. Shekinna Stricklen [+] Seattle Storm
* From Chicago
3. Devereaux Peters [+] Minnesota Lynx
* From Washington
4. Glory Johnson [+] Tulsa Shock
5. Shenise Johnson [+] San Antonio Silver Stars
6. Samantha Prahalis [+] Phoenix Mercury
7. Kelley Cain New York Liberty
8. Natalie Novosel [+] Washington Mystics
* From Atlanta
9. Astan Dabo [+] Connecticut Sun
10. LaSondra Barrett [+] Washington Mystics
* From Seattle
11. Sasha Goodlett [+] Indiana Fever
12. Damiris Dantas [+] Minnesota Lynx

Really surprised Shekinna Stricklen went as high as #2, had her #35 on my board. Thought the Phoenix Mercury had a great pick in Samantha Prahalis at #6. Surprised Damiris Dantas dropped all the way to #12, I would have drafted her #1 overall based off her cool sounding name.

SECOND ROUND UNDERWAY!!

Do the WNBA players make any decent wages, got a one year old girl and not sure if i should bother making her the worlds greatest female basketball player

[Silky Smooth]

I want Cleveland to bring a team back so we can draft Skylar Diggins. She'd bring all celebrities here.

Some players also earn sponsorships (Candace Parker and no one else haha). I'm pretty sure that she has a multimillion dollar contract with them

[Lee]

I just caught the draft, Sha Na Na was taken first overall by the Chicago Fuzz Bumpers !!!

[Powerslave]

Good luck to all of these guys.

[RonG]

Candace Parker has to be pissed to be the best baller in her family and see what her brother gets paid

[UDcleveland]

That could be Alonzo Gee's sister.

[Pyro]

When are we going to start the thread "A closer look at Brittney Griner"? I heard he is going to declare. Might go higher than Davis.
