A lot of the forwards coming into the league don't have the range that forwards like Tina Thompson or Sheryl Swoopes have.

Centers of Attention

The center position is a bit thinner in this year's Draft as compared to the past. Last season we had Nicole Ohlde, Vanessa Hayden, Iciss Tillis, Lindsay Taylor, Kaayla Chones, Stacy Stephens and Ebony Hoffman among the top picks that made teams. People used to think of centers in the mold of a Lisa Leslie. Then teams were looking at centers that played like Kym Hampton. She was only 6-1, but gosh could she dominate inside.

Minnesota's Janel McCarville is a big body in the post who will go very high in the Draft. Some have her listed as a forward, but she still has to develop an outside game to compete with some of the 4's and 5's currently in the WNBA. She has some range, maybe 12-15-feet. But 3-point range? I haven't seen Minnesota play enough to determine whether she can hit the outside shot on a consistent enough basis. Sandora Irvin is a power forward who will go pretty high. At 6-3, people probably think that they can play her at either forward position as well, but she probably plays like a center at TCU. Irvin and McCarville will probably be the top two centers taken.

Even talks about UCSB's Kristen Mann too... Shocked

DeeDee Wheeler is still lesser known because she plays at Arizona, but she is scorer.

Lesser known because she's so short no one can find her... Confused

Good luck getting drafted Razz

Stephens and Taylor were "top" picks? Third round picks are considered "top" picks?

Who the hell thinks that? No one...except Ann Meyers.

"Probably?" More proof Ann doesn't know what she is talking about. She cannot even get off her ass to do some research or watch a game...or even get a tape of a game!
