Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Who did well in yesterday's draft? One team that did a good job balancing pro potential and team need was the Seattle Storm. The returning champs selected players with the 12, 25, and 38 picks- Penn State's Tanisha Wright, Connecticuts' Ashley Battle, and Baylor's Steffanie Blackmon- who made most analysts' Top 25.

Wright dropped further than expected. Perhaps it was because Wright came up short in the tale of the tape. Wright was listed at 5-foot-11 but is actually 5-8. "We've watched Tanisha all year", Donovan said. We didn't talk about her a lot because we didn't think she'd be available. She's a great team player."
