Draft Day Discussion

well played creative one.... and yes I guess you couldn't pass paris up. I saw lin dunn @ cal and saw the january pick happening and she certainly fits their motiff...so just damn...i may need to apologize to nancy in a few more picks
 
Quanitra Hollingsworth?? Really? Coach Laimbeer must have told Minny that he was going to draft her....or she had one heckuva camp.
 
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:
 
Whitney Boddie, only seen her once, but she's a PG. Would've been nice to pick Ashley, but then we'd really have a glut of posts.
 
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.
 
Why take Whitney Boddie when there were better guards remaining? Blown pick.
i don' know diddley about her ...

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.

maybe she has a good bench press ... which guards would you have preferred ???

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.
