WNBA Draft - Monday April 13 - ESPN 7:00pm EDT

[Sections 204and5]

Old board or new board, I can't recall ever having a WNBA draft thread.

There are three rounds and all will be held tomorrow night so we'll know Maggie Doogan's fate before the evening is over. At least for me, I'll be interested in where some of the players the Spiders have faced end up.

Coverage is on ESPN and you can follow the draft board online at this link:

From what I have read, Maggie’s name should be called mid to late 2nd round. 3 rounds of 15. With right team, she should have a good chance at a roster spot.

Bringing this topic up o the top as a reminder this evening.

 

[Spider17]

Draft starts at 7 pm on ESPN. Doogan projected to fall somewhere between pick 16-24.

 

[PittFieldDreams]

First round in the books and 5 UCLA Bruins taken in the first round!

 

[SpiderLaw]

Doogan now looking at round 3 - number of foreign players rated higher than others thought to be round 2.

 

[Spider17]

First 2 rounds completed. Doogan’s name not called so far. Hopefully will be in the third round.

 

[SFspidur]

Looks like it might be close. 11 picks left, and ESPN has her as the 13th best available remaining. 4th best PF still on the board.

 

[PittFieldDreams]

Charlise Dunn from Davidson taken 36th.

 

[SFspidur]

Dunn had 21 and 11 in the 3OT game against us when Maggie went off, but we completely shut her down in the rematch…2 points and 2 boards.

 

[fan2011]

UCLA had 5 players go in the top 15, wow.

 

[SpiderLaw]

Doogan undrafted

 

[SFspidur]

No Maggie. Dunn was the only non-P4 or international player picked. Hurts that it had to be another A-10 player. Looks like Dunn benefited from the draft not being deep at SF.

 

[Spider17]

Tough week for spider women’s basketball.

 

[SpiderLaw]

Let’s hope Maggie has a good free agent contract in the works with the right team

 

[32counter]

Kinda glad how it worked out.Maggie doesn’t fit the “conventional profile”of an WNBA player.Never thought of her to be overly physical even at the A10 level.

 

[RichmondNative]

I guess the 10 international players were not anticipated by the mock draft experts. Sorry Maggie didn’t get drafted, but at least she was smart about watching from home versus having a more public event. Hope she gets picked up as a free agent and gets a chance that way.

Overseas is where the jobs and money are for most college players, since WNBA opportunities are so limited. A number of undrafted (or drafted) OSU players have made a nice living there.

 

[SpiderLaw]

Phoenix had no first round pick. They drafted at number 27 and 42. Maggie may have a better chance as free agent with a team interested in her than a third round pick for a team that is not a good match.
