Delle Donne needs to go to Tulsa. Tulsa has plenty of guards (Johnson, Latta, Williams)

Dr. House to diagnose all the various ailments they've been having. Must be a really rare disease.
Tulsa should get Griner for all the suffering they've done. But DC fans deseve her too.

Delle Donne to DC - She'd be a bigger draw there than at any of the other lottery places.

I've tried to explain this to Clay, but he refuses to buy into any homegirl scenarios.
I kinda like the RGIII and Redskins promotional possibilities with fellow alum Griner. I could see him buying his own box and drawing a lot of attention to the Mystics. I see a lot of hope in DC and improvement for next year.

DC needs Diggins. They have a giant gaping hole at the point no matter who the coach is and she'll bring the crowds back.
If I were fixing the lottery, I'd go...
1 Tulsa
2 Chicago
3 Washington
4 Phoenix

I like it, I think that puts the three players where they'll have the most impact from a win-loss perspective. But as a Seattle, fan I'd rather see Griner go east, of course.

Exactly what I was thinking--we need Diggins. Great PG's--so hard to find.

They need Diggins over Griner? This has got to be total sarcasm.

| As Bob Corwin put it one recent half time when all I could dream of was taking a pee and grabbing a cup of coffee, Diggy equals Wiggy. I nodded my head in agreement. Before slapping him and calling him an old fool.

Wiggins was an awful big star in college.

That was who she most reminded me of in the NCAA Tournament games I saw last year as well. Although I admit that I haven't seen Diggins play that many times. |

Yeah. I've been on record and wrong about college players I've only seen once or twice before so I'm hesitant, but I just don't see the fuss about Diggins being equal to the player on the floor. Really reminded me of Wiggins.

I saw her play a lot in person back then. She had class, but I didn't see a future WNBA star. Not to the degree that people were hyping her to be. I think I came out kind of right on that one. She's very good and a solid pro and all that. But...

The draft lottery should be held to determine the order of the first four picks.
The players should go to the teams that pick them, respectively.
Fans should support each and every team and each and every player in the league, while cheering loudest for their favorites.
Simple. Easy. End of story.
