Charley Walters reports that Suzie McConnell-Serio will represent the Lynx at the Draft Lottery on Monday. Though the lottery date has been known since Sue Short reported it almost two weeks ago, there still hasn't been any official announcement.

What gives? Is there a reason for secrecy, or is this just another publicity ball dropped?

(UPDATE: dwalk notes that the Lottery is listed on the calendar on the right bar of WNBA.com.)

At the offseason blog, WNBA.com editor Matt Wurst reported yesterday on the WSF gala.

Matt also pointed out this excellent article from Sunday's Philly Inquirer headlined "The Future of Pro Sports."

In it, David Stern explains again his vision for the WNBA.

We think we're in the process of creating additional strong interest in basketball fans, who will then spill over to becoming an audience for the NBA as well as the WNBA. And that is a huge additional opportunity for us.
