2ndround not so good for men in terms of sticking with a team, is it the same for women
Amazing that logic went 10th and megan went 17th no hate on logic but wow.
They can carpool back to Wisconsin together

I watched tonight and they said this was perhaps the deepest class in WNBA history. Said the league has been looking ahead to this class for four years.
She seems like a good college player but not typical pro mold.
She's like a Greg Brunner type. Good fundamentals but lacks size and athleticism the next level likes.

However, the Baylor player selected #7 overall couldn't stop Megan and they had to put another player on her. She's plenty athletic enough. Just another stereotype because she's a white girl who played for Iowa.
I don't know, but women don't leave early like the men, so not so many of them. Except for the few from other countries all were seniors, I presume.
I wonder if many, if not most WNBA players go overseas in the off season to make their living, and then play here for prestige.
Logic is playing in Slovakia these days.
Ally Disterhoft was smart. Great career at Iowa but did not attempt to play pro basketball instead going to work for Barclays. More money in the long term for sure.
Real money for women made overseas not in the WNBA.

No, she was not the first.
And the WNBA's rules are more restrictive than the NBA's so the # of players that are eligible to enter early is smaller as well.
I saw it the same way, FWIW. ^^ Having only seen the big Baylor post in the game v. Iowa, it sure seemed like Megan was outplaying her straight up. The "x" factor to me was the other post, the one that got injured in the championship game. Between the two of them, they could control Megan, but neither one could all by themselves.
For that reason, I was a little surprised to see the Baylor post selected ahead of Megan. But who knows, I don't see enough of the other teams to say for sure. Good luck to Megan at any rate.
She’s a tweener who is automatic within 10-15 feet...but she’s a small C and that space will be congested.
