No reason given. I'd guess and say one of the representatives couldn't attend.

You would think the team would just name another rep

Well last year they screwed up the playoff format. Maybe they're screwing up with the lottery format as well. Or maybe there is going to be an expansion team or two announced in the off season and they wanna factor that in somehow?

Or it could just be something dumb like the studio they were filming it in wasn't available.

Just give Chicago the first two picks and save everyone the time.

WNBA draft lottery, set for Thursday, is postponed. Thought is the night is too "busy" and draft will get more attention another time.

Maybe the NBA did it in 1966.

Maybe Borders is trying to secure Samsung whatever so she can host in a DJ booth again since we all enjoyed it the first time! Razz

Also, can we please not cite Swish Appeal for actual news? This was reported by Feinberg earlier today, SA just took the information and slapped the usual "multiple sources" on it instead of crediting him. There's not a lot of great journalism in WBB as it is, let's give those who do the hard work credit instead of unprofessional tabloid websites.

I tend to agree. Did the night get any busier in the last 24 hours? Bizarre to get this close to the date and then postpone for no real reason.

Maybe it took them this long to realise that Borders was double-booked to be in Minnesota handing out the MVP award and in New York/Connecticut/wherever opening lottery envelopes?

Borders couldn't be bothered to show up last year and the ESPN halftime reveal was anti-climatic. No envelopes, just look at this graphic telling you. Laughing

So hopefully they are making it better, but again, after this year's draft my expectations are low.

Thursday's not enough attention for the draft, but enough attention for 2 semi-final games on ESPN2? Question

Hmmm... Confused Idea

The NBA is about to vote on lottery reform. Perhaps they're going to use the W as a guinea pig.

Good point ... it would make sense to have both lottery systems the same.

That would be a negative scenario. Also, given that pilight hinted expansion talks could be more advanced than previously thought, maybe the possibility of giving Expnsion Team X some ping pong balls is on the table for discussion.
