The 2013 WNBA draft is tonight (coverage begins at 8pm EST on ESPN2 and WatchESPN) and I am excited! Some
of you may know that I am a fan of the WNBA as evidenced by my post here.
Tonight’s draft should be exciting AFTER the three top prospects get picked. We
all know that Griner, Delle Donne, and Diggins will most likely go in that
order but the succeeding picks on the draft board aren’t so set in stone. There seems to be a
major drop-off after those three ladies. My biggest hope is that the New York
Liberty makes MUCH better picks this season. They have the 5th and 7th
overall picks in the draft. Last year’s draft was a bust. The Kelly Cain
debacle really made me wonder what was going on in the Liberty’s front office.
The mock drafts I’ve seen have the Liberty drafting a couple solid players that
I think will fit into Trade Bill’s system but I highly doubt one or both picks
will be with the team for long. I fully expect Bill Laimbeer to try to make a
few draft night trades to pick up some veteran players; rookies don’t seem to
flourish under his regime. All-in-all I’m excited to see what players are
drafted and where. The New York Liberty will make better picks than last year
because last year was about as horrible a draft as they’ve had.
