Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, April 26, 2003

Cleveland had trouble scoring last year, so they are excited to add LaToya Thomas to the floor.

Sacramento was thrilled to get a big-time center in Chantelle Anderson.

Detroit got two stars with Ford and Lawson. Shock Coach Laimbeer and Karl Malone used to hate each other, so it'll be fun to see how Laimbeer and Ford get along.

The Phoenix staff was impressed at how Plenette Pierson came back after her rocky junior year. Phoenix also added some speed with Marion. After watching tons of tape, they decided Pierson was worth a #4 pick. The Mercury recently found out that Stepanova will not be playing this year.

You can't have too many post players, so Indiana took another one with Gwen Jackson. Coach Fortner doesn't expect her to make a huge impact as a rookie, but she should be able to contribute. The Fever also got DeTrina White in the 2nd round; Doris Burke said that was the steal of the draft.

Pat Summitt got the Mystics some help inside by adding Jenny Mowe and Aiysha Smith.

Seattle stunned many by selecting Jung Sun-Min. After the announcement, the party started in South Korea.

Charlotte stayed close to home and grabbed Jocelyn Penn.

Bucknell star Molly Creamer is heading to the Big Apple to play at MSG.

With their first pick ever, the San Antonio Silver Stars took Coretta Brown.

With the last pick of the first round, Houston took shooting guard Allison Curtin.

With the first pick of the second round, the Sun took forward Courtney Coleman.

The Lynx picked 38-year-old Teresa Edwards, who Coach Serio says is the best guard ever to play the game.
