My new, quickfire mock draft

Friday 01 April 2005

The IP scouting service *sniggers* releases their quickfire mock draft. Assumptions made? Currie comes out and Cappie stays in (yes, despite all public media reports, Cappie is not guaranteed to stay in school).

#1 Charlotte – Monique Currie

... because she’s worth it.

#2 Indiana – Janel McCarville

... because they want her badly.

#3 Phoenix – Sandora Irvin

... because she’s a good fit.

#4 San Antonio - Kendra Wecker

... because she’s a perfect fit.

#5 Houston – Tan White

... because Van loves her game.

#6 Washington – Dionnah Jackson

... because the Mystics need a PG (yes, I realise that means it probably won’t happen but suspend your disbelief just for a little bit)

#7 Detroit – Sancho Lyttle

... because with mother Russia’s alleged edict on players and the national team, Osipova is not guaranteed to turn up.

#8 Connecticut – Katie Feenstra

... because size matters!

#9 Sacramento – Jacqueline Batteast

... because the ‘Narchs are obsessed with forwards.

#10 New York – Temeka Johnson

... because Blaze likes to be undersized at every position.

#11 Minnesota – Kristin Haynie

... because Suzie likes her tough PGs.

#12 Seattle – Shyra Ely

... because a UConn/Tennessee player must go first round and Anne is a dodgy drafter

#13 Washington – Kristen Mann

... because she’s a draft sleeper who deserves some attention (see above Mystics entry though)

I haven't heard a thing about Kristen Mann??? Any stats?? And I'm hoping NY picks a SG. It's there most needed position!

Mann averaged 19.5 points and 9.4 rebounds for UCSB. Shot 44% from the field and 31% from beyond the arc.
