On the clock again.

I changed my mind, Peters would have been my pick. She quite a few games, but that was earlier in her career. I've read she's really committed to defense and ranked among the best in steals, rebounds, and blocks. She's pretty efficient on the offensive end too. 2 APG and a respectable FG percentage of .549

pick Riquna Williams, she looks gangsta

Lynx take Dimitris Diamantidis, good pick, they'll never know what hit them

[Klomp]

The top-talked about foreign player seems to be one with the most wild-card potential, Damiris Dantas. The 19-year old Brazilian has apparantly made it known that she is unwilling to play in the WNBA until after the 2016 Olympics, so if Dantas' name is called it will be for investment purposes.

The 6-4 center had a busy 2011-2012 on the hardwood, earning bronze medals for Brazil at both the PanAmerican Games and U-19 World Championships. She was also named MVP at the U-19 Worlds after averaging 20.9 points while shooting 45.9% from 2-point range, pulling down 12.6 rebounds and adding 2.0 steals and 1.4 assists a game during the competition. Dantas earned her MVP award after pacing the entire tournament field in both points and rebounds.

Dantas also competed for Brazil at the FIBA Americas, where her squad picked up the gold medal. The 2011-12 European season saw Dantas play in Spain for Real C. Vigo and she averaged 13.1 points and 7.0 rebounds in 26.6 minutes a night through her 25 games played.

Wow, they used a first rounder for "investment purposes"? that's bold when they have three second rounders coming up soon.

[Devilzsidewalk]

why does she need to wait until after the 2016 olympics

Three straight picks coming for the Lynx. I don't expect to keep them all

[cpfsf]

WNBA mock draft said we would draft Lynetta Kizer with the 12th overall pick, so maybe we might burn a pick on her.

Julie Wojta
Kayla Standish
Nika Baric

good draft, I'd do em

good draft, I'd do em

I'm sure you would!

We took a Brazilian chick? Best news I have heard so far. Brazilian women don't play, seems like the majority of them are just flat out badasses. And got to laugh at having the 3rd pick after a season where you won the title. Team is already ridiculously stacked and now this. Lynx got to be the most powerful dynasty in North American pro hoops right now. It's like the heat but deep and having top 5 picks every year.

I have no idea which one is Baric in that video. Is she the one in blue with the long hair in a pony tail or the other one in blue with the long hair in a pony tail or is she the other one in blue with the long hair in a pony tail?

she's the one yelling "HIBACHI!" and doing the threes goggles after cashing 30 footers. Its in there, keep looking.
