On the eve of the Final Four, Cleveland's paper of record covers the pros: what does the league need?
Stacey Dales says it: "We need a longer season."
Sue Bird: "The WNBA still has the most talent... If the WNBA paid [as well as] European teams do, [the length of the season] wouldn't even be a question," because all the American players, and half the best foreign ones, would turn down overseas gigs to play here.
Also in Cleveland: draft camp. Wurst has been watching the camp teams' pickup games, coached by Teresa Edwards and Sandy Brondello: Vandy PG Dee Davis, Wurst writes, "was the best player on the floor." (She even took some shots.)
Also in Cleveland: Billie Jean King.
