...the WNBA Draft starts at 2 p.m. this afternoon, with the first round broadcast live on ESPN2. Both Paris twins are present to shake hands and put on caps or whatever it is the broads do when they get picked.

Thanks badger. Nice interview.

[bri]

McCoughtry from L'ville goes first overall to Atlanta.

Yes, I'm watching the WNBA Draft. Yes, it's brutal.

[Boomer.....]

:D

[bri]

Marissa Coleman from Maryland goes second to Warshington DC.

[badger]

McCoughtry from L'ville goes first overall to Atlanta.

HER?! Whitney Hand shut her DOWN in the first half! If we didn't switch up our defense on her we might just left her pouting on the bench a la Josh McRoberts by the closing minutes.

[bri]

BTW, the president of the WNBA looks like she should be hosting an Oprah Book Club party, not a nationally televised sports draft. :D

[soonerfan28]

I heard that Courtney will probably go at 4 to whoever has that pick.

[badger]

CP3 should go 3... just cuz. :D

[soonerfan28]

The Lynx.

[bri]

That would be Minnesota.

Chicago Sky are ON THE CLOCK!

[bri]

Kristi Toliver from Maryland goes third. Lynx are on the clock!

[badger]

If I was watching, I would be like Who? WHO? a la Steve Austin's "WHAT?!" after every name read... up til Courtney, of course :D

[bri]

With the fourth pick in the 2009 WNBA Draft, the Minnesota Lynx select...Renee Montgomery from UCONN.

[bri]

Dewanna Bonner from Allbarn goes fifth to Phoenix, taking her scary-*** Salem's Lot vampire teeth with her.

[soonerfan28]

Sucks watching Courtney sit there and have to wait.

[Curly Bill]

Do WNBA teams see what I see, that CP peaked about 3 years ago?

So far, everyone's needing versatility and athleticism. That means "guards", not "Courtney". She'll make her sixty-four large somewhere.

Briann January from Arizona State goes sixth to Indiana.

[Collier11]

Here are the two issues that these teams are having IMO

1) Courtney hasnt gotten better since her sophomore year
2) She had Zero commitment in college to her body. IF she had lost 20lbs like her sis, we probably would have beaten Lousiville

[bri]

True and true, but that's someone else's problem now.

FWIW, the ESPN chicks are saying Courtney will go to Sacramento with the next pick.

[bri]

Courtney goes to Sacramento with the 7th pick.

[Boomer.....]

Yeah, CP3!

[bri]

And now they're pointing out that she needs to stop being fat and lazy to make it at the next level, ala Ashley.

[bri]

As it doesn't seem like Ashley will be going in the first round, I'm going to take this opportunity to stop watching the WNBA Draft. Because it's brutal television. :D

[Collier11]

kinda like watching the Cubs? ;)

[Boomer.....]

AP5 not taken in the first round. (It is only 13 picks though)

[badger]

Hey WNBA execs!

PICK (CP) 3!

[JohnnyMack]

So if Sac-Town wins the NBA lottery Blake & Courtney could end up in the same town again.

[Paperclip]

Ashley to L.A. Both Paris girls go home to California.

[Boomer.....]

Ashley Paris goes #22 to the L.A. Sparks.

[soonerfan28]

Just saw that. Good for her.
