It's really more of a MSG-Princeton thing than because she's related to Obama. Leslie went to Princeton. Her father Craig, VP of Development, and Knicks President Steve Mills were teammates at Princeton. My guess is that Leslie has gone to the MSG offices and hung out with the staff -- both Knicks and Liberty. She probably knows Isiah Thomas, Katie Smith and gang. So, they gave her a little present by drafting her. By so doing, they passed up a chance to draft Julia Reisingerova and Carlie Wagner. Everybody else is now available as an undrafted free agent.

I believe I need to go skeet shooting this weekend. I will label each clay pigeon with this sentence; Gabby Williams is not a lottery pick. I will have some big fun this weekend!
Pull! BOOM! BOOM!

Doesn't getting drafted help her get an overseas contract too?

We didn't see her on tv, but I know Cori Close was there to cheer on Canada and Billings. Seems like there is a possibility that not all coaches in attendance were shown?

Clay, you know better than to use that family of sites without checking anything else...
They just list all players, men and women as being draft eligible in their age 22 year.
"International" players are available for the draft only once and that's the year in which they turn 20.
As I mentioned in another thread, Park is younger than Chennedy Carter, Megan Walker, and Evina Westbrook. It makes it hard to pick international players, but they theoretically have more years to grow. |

That's what I always thought until someone -- I think Richyyy -- said last year that foreign players are actually available twice. Then, I thought it was 20 and 21. But recently, I read that Iagupova had her pick nullified because she turned 21 before the draft. So, I thought maybe you're eligible for a second year if your 21st birthday doesn't occur until after the next draft. Otherwise, it's surprising that LA would be mistaken by so much time since Alina would have turned 20 about fourteen months earlier. That motivated me to look up the appropriate section in the CBA:
| Quote: |
(d) Notwithstanding Section 1(b) above, an international player is eligible to be selected in the WNBA Draft if she will be at least 20 years old during the calendar year in which such Draft is held.
(e) For purposes of this Section 1, an “international player” means any person born and residing outside the United States who participates in the game of basketball as an amateur or a professional. An international player who exercises intercollegiate basketball eligibility in the United States shall be subject to the eligibility rules set forth in Section 1(b)(iii) above.
(f) No player may sign a Contract or play in the WNBA unless she has been eligible for selection in at least one (1) WNBA Draft.
(g) No player shall be eligible for selection in more than two (2) WNBA Drafts. |
The wording on age is convoluted, but it looks to me like you can be both over 20 (i.e., turn 21) in the year you're drafted and qualify for 2 drafts. Now, it's possible that (f) and (g) only apply to American college players. We know that any drafted player who doesn't sign or play overseas can in theory re-enter the draft. So, that would be two drafts. However, I don't see any phrase limiting those clauses to US collegiates. Therefore, I assume they also apply to international players.

We went through this a couple of years ago and eventually decided that international players are only eligible once, in the calendar year that they turn 20. I agree that the wording suggests otherwise to my non-lawyer mind, but that was the ruling that came down from on high, the last I heard.
Penny Toler selecting someone who was utterly ineligible wasn't particularly surprising. |

Yes, it's nepotism and it offends me.

maybe he didn't want to favor one over another. or maybe none of them asked him to be there. |
Maybe he didn't pass the "No Complete Assholes Allowed" rule?

Are you implying that they paid off the officials with foreign currency? They just put a bag filled with Euro's at the end of the bench for the officials to pick up. Now the way the officiating has been in the league that doesn't surprise me in the least.

Not sure if you have looked since you posted this, but the draft is on ESPN 3 now under replays.
