I wish I had some of that video enhancement equipment from the police shows, but the board looked like this to me:
1) Montgomery
2) Coleman
3) McCoughtry
4) Toliver
5) Vaughn
6) Bonner
7) Zellous
8 ) January
I'm surprised that they didn't have C.Paris in there. Blaze has been pretty conventional in recent years, so I would've expected the big girl before Zellous and January.

I watched and paused it several times before seeing your list, and I agree that was the ranking on NY's board.
CB and PattyForPres: Per Blaze's explanation that they had a list from 1 to 8, I think this was NY's list of who they would pick, in order, not their predictions of how the draft would go. In any event, it's surprising that they would allow the camera to get close enough that this list could be seen. Anyway, very interesting behind the scenes look. Str8, thanks for the link!

You're right. But THEY DID believe that Montgomery was the number 1 pick. Their mock draft was much closer to what really happened, but Montgomery was at the top of it and McCoughtry was 4th.

Blaze said a couple of interesting things: The third reason she listed for picking Vaughn is that she is local. Blaze also said that she has had her eye on her for several years. So yes, she was drafted based on previous performance as others guessed on other threads.

I didn't mind either picks, really. I mean, Waner can't hit shit, but she's worth a chance. And I like Kia. Kia will bring some 'nasty' to the our front court as Peck would say. Last year New York should've beaten Detroit but offensive rebounds and Taj McWilliams-Franklin killed them. Kia should help us in that department.
Like the video by the way. I mean, Patty seemed like she was being interogated, but it was cool to see she and Blaze discuss the picks.

Ah, yeah I bet you are right. Still a surprising list in some ways. Yes surprising the camera was allowed to capture that, especially if the players already on the team see it, like the pg!

Well at least that's half-true. If they love to run then they're sure doing a damn shitty job of doing what they love.
At least Patty had the decency to only say she thought they'd get someone at 8 who'd have a good chance to make their squad. Not "make an important contribution" or any of that usual waffle, but an honest implied realisation that the #8 pick in a weak draft would at least have to fight a bit to make the roster.

Those were players too good to pass up at number 8 if they were on the board. That doesn't necessarily mean they'd have kept them. I like L-Mo and Lei and I'm not ready to take a chance on Toliver. Picking Montgomery, I could see, as she's a back up combo guard. I'd be less reluctant to let Willis go than Lei.
But yeah, you saw their mock draft order, CB. They had 1-8 (and 12) right except 1 and 4 were switched around.

They could run more, I see Meka flying up the court sometimes looking for the ball but Loree doesn't see her (I guess)..
