Auriemma Blasts Cuban's Suggestion Of Drafting Griner

[RealGM Wiretap]

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban suggested that he might consider drafting Brittney Griner, but Connecticut women's coach Geno Auriemma doesn't think much of the notion.

Cuban told reporters that if Griner is the best player available, "I will take her."

"Right now, I'd lean toward yes, just to see if she can do it," he added. "You never know unless you give somebody a chance."

Auriemma said Wednesday that Cuban is a financial genius, but "his genius would take a huge hit if he drafted Brittney Griner."

"I think it would be a sham," he said. "The fact that a woman could actually play right now in the NBA and compete successfully against the level of play that they have is absolutely ludicrous."

When I played college ball there was a girl from the UCLA girls team that used to go to the same park I did for 5 on 5s. She could not compete with EVERY player on the court but there were several that could not complete with her either.
