From M's Twitter page: "Just interview Paris. The 1st WNBA game she went to was a Monarchs game at ARCO and she's really excited she was drafted my Monarchs."

That's cool, maybe Ashley is coming back to Cali too? :cool:

I can see Boddie make it the roster in an Aqua spot....

From M's Twitter: "Boddie was 1st Team All-SEC and averaged 7.9 assts per game last season, and she led country in assist/turnover ratio."

Only saw her once, but pretty good accolades.

A rough guess at opening day line-up (Yes, I realize this will probably change)

PG: Ticha/Whitney
SG: Kara/(Newton or Scho)
SF:Nicole/Maiga
PF:Brunson/(Farris/Kelly/Harper - pick 2)
C:paris/Walker

as close as I am to arco right now if whiz would have taken another paris before he took a damn guard who can bring the ball up the floor I would have been there with a picket sign....still waiting for an LA pg draft pick...might sorta like waiting for it to snow.

Think Aqua plus five inches. She can't defend. She can't shoot. Her basketball IQ is low. All she had going for her in college was a little speed and DeWanna Bonner. :rolleyes:

There were better guards remaining in the draft if they were so hellbent on picking one. This is disastrous.

Wouldn't say disastrous...she played PG for a top 10 team in the nation, was 1st team All-SEC and led the conference in assists. Could've done A LOT worse than that IMO.

From M's Twitter: Ticha on Paris - 'I'm happy with the pick... As long as she doesn't ask me for a loan to payback her Oklahoma scholarship!'

The Monarchs should donate money for every double double Courtney gets!

1st team All-SEC is not a prestigious honor these days because they can get as many as 10 players on it.

She played in a weak conference as a senior (LSU and Tennessee graduated all of their main players from their Final Four teams). As a junior, she did not generate stats that were close to her senior marks. As a PG and supposed leader of her team, she allowed herself to become academically ineligible in her junior year.

There's a lot not to like about Boddie, but I suppose we needed more bodies in training camp.

I am more a fan of Brooks of the names being bandied about. Hell, Risper would have floated my boat. I need to let this draft settle in for me a little longer. Not completely feeling it yet.
