| Is it a norm for a player and her family to be invited to an WNBA team area like CT did for N.Howard? Just being kind? Just wondered.

I like this one but I'm flipping McBride and Simms. I just think Tulsa would be crazy to pass on a real 2 guard for a modified one, even if she is "local" kinda sorta lol
And I would really like to see the fireworks created with a backcourt of Sims and Pondexter :O

You think Hughes might pass on the local kid, not as much kinda sorta?

Utah players
| Quote: |
| According to Levrets, Plouffe could be taken as high as the top 10, but might go as low as 23, and maybe even drop out of the first round. Plouffe’s countrywoman Kim Smith is the last Utah player to be taken in the first round, as she was selected 13th in the 2006 draft by the Sacramento Monarchs. And like Smith, Plouffe offers myriad skills, all wrapped in a 6-foot-4 body. |
The way they word this, I think they mistakenly think the first round is to #24.
| Quote: |
This year will be a rarity for the state, with BYU’s Jennifer Hamson also expected to be drafted. Plouffe — for her part — said sleeping will be difficult in the days leading up to the draft. She may not have started playing basketball with the goal of the WNBA in mind. But when she realized a pro basketball career is attainable, she pursued it relentlessly.
And now, she’s right on the cusp. |

Plouffe in the second round would be a good risk, IMO.

I talked with BYU Coach Judkins earlier today. While he confirmed Jennifer Hamson was concentrating on volleyball until after her last season of eligibility at BYU, he believed there was a good chance she would give the WNBA a try in the summer of 2015.
He also wanted to put in a plug for his guard Lexi Eaton for the 2016 draft.

round 2 of fun draft day trades starting with Charles, Cash and Cambage
Charles #11 to Washington for Langhorne, Hollingsworth and #6 (#11 an athltic guard#6 Hartley or Dolson)
Cash and #10 to Indy for Christmas and #5 (#10 Gray #5 Howard)
Cambage to Seattle for Stricklen and #7 (#7 Gatling)
more fun with #4 (NY wants an experienced guard)
#4 for R. Williams and #13 (Then Tulsa can draft #2 Sims and #4 McBride, NYL can use #13 and #14 on any two of Marshall, Lucas, Simmons, Gray, Achonwa, Stallworth, Ndour)
#4 and Mitchell for Latta (Mike T can move Lawson to the PG spot Mitchell can back up PG off the bench, and Washington can draft #4 McBride and #6 Howard to continue the make over. Maybe BL can make a height exception for Latta and start her with Pondexter and Carson)
#4 for S. Johnson and #15 (SA can draft any 2 of Thomas, McBride and Dolson at #3 and #4 NY gets an experienced guard who can start at the 3 with Cappie and Carson and can go post/guard at #14 and #15)
Somethings no one in their right mind would see coming
#2 for Dupree (PX adds #2 Simms to Phillips and DT, at the 1, 2, 3, with Bass, Bonner and sometimes Taylor covering the 4, Tulsa get a veteran scoring post and slides GloJo to the 5 if Camabge doesn't show, Tulsa grabs a guard at #13 Schimmel, Simmons, marshall, Lucas to back up Williams who starts alongside Diggins)
#3 and S. Young to LA for N. Ogwumike (LA drafts Thomas at #3, LA now has Harding, Toliver, Herrington, Wiggins and Beard at guard, Beard, Thomas and Young on the wing, And Parker, Gruda, Young, Thomas and Lavender in the post, SA get a new high character startinf PF and Nneka get a chance to shine is SA)
#4 and T. Young to Tulsa for Diggins and #13 (Beware the power of JayZee and Roc nation, Now Tulsa doesn't worry about having to play Diggins and Sims together because they'll be starting Sims and McBride, and can play Ok State Tomi Young at the 3/4 NY adds Diggins in a huge media market with a box office deprived team returning to MSG with Cappie and Carson and can pick up another guard and post in the 2nd round at 13 and 14.)

The other Plouffe may be a good risk in the third.

Foggie, Lister take low-key approach to WNBA draft
Vanderbilt senior guards could hear their names called tonight
| Quote: |
"It's an honor just to be in consideration," said Foggie, who led the SEC in scoring this season after averaging a career-high 19 points per game. "I feel like we have done all we can at this point ... so now it's just matter of letting the chips fall where they may."
Foggie, who is Vanderbilt's all-time leader in 3-pointers, said she plans to watch the draft in her room, and said she might 'FaceTime' with her parents. She said if she gets drafted, she might go out to dinner with some of her teammates.
"I am more relaxed than I thought I would be," said Foggie with a laugh. |
| Quote: |
"If I don't hear my name tonight, that won't be nearly as devastating as it would have been (to be left out of the NCAA Tournament)," said Lister, who is Vanderbilt's all-time career leader in minutes played. "If I don't get drafted, I still have some other options, like playing overseas or other things."
Lister, who started every game (129) of her career at Vanderbilt, recently participated in a WNBA combine in Franklin, Tenn.
"I felt like I was getting recruited all over again," said Lister. "I enjoyed the experience." |

| I'd be pretty happy to see those two go 18 and 20. If we pick Simmons at 8 (not thrilled) it would be awesome to see them fight it out in practice. Gvie the job to the last player standing (which I'm pretty sure will be from Vandy, since they out number the Vol 2 to 1.)

Of course, it is what Hamson has been telling WNBA teams that could keep her from being drafted. As this story in today’s Tribune details, Hamson has told the WNBA teams which have contacted her or coach Jeff Judkins that she will definitely not play professional basketball this summer.
Instead, she will play at a college volleyball camp in Minneapolis in late June and early July, then return to the BYU volleyball team for her final year of eligibility in that sport this fall.
"It is probably going to be a tough decision for most teams, because I have decided I am not going to play this summer, so they would be drafting me for next season [2015]," Hamson said. |
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsbyusports/57817895-65/story.csp
OMG, Reeve, she'll be in Minneapolis during the summer! She can hang out at Target Center and become familiar. Make this work.

Three guards for the dream? And we are not passing on Hartley for Schimmel. Would be a huge mistake.

| Late first and early second is "Hamson Time." Got to take a chance on this one. I hope it's SASS but I don't see her getting this far unless there's more to her situation than we know about....
