The 2018 WNBA Draft is on this Friday.
Word is that Aussie Kristy Wallace is set to be drafted by the Phoenix Mercury with a 2nd round pick (Coach Brondello).
WNBA Draft: The case for Kristy Wallace
Yeah.. I don't know why, but she is.
Same with mijovic and Tupaea. Get the rights to them and if they come good, bring them over.

Yeah - saw Rocci. Not sure she will score a selection though as much as I would love to see it.
Is this league still around? Subsidies flowing from big brother two decades now. The river keeps flowing.
Smith is a big chance next year to get drafted.

Why would Brondello be sour, she's picked up Wright, and she’s not picking an Australian National team is she, she’s picking a team for the WNBA, looks like Chicago wanted DeSheilds more, Phoenix could have held their pick for Wallace if they wanted.

If Smith keeps on playing the way she is - will do well in future drafts. Next year Teaira McCowan will graduate and a strong candidate for no 1 pick. Asia Durr may be the same draft as smith.

Do we know much about which Aussies are in training camps right now? Know Whitcomb is back at Storm, one of five guards in the 14 left so good chance she's back.
Wallace is injured so not with Dream. Talbot and Mitchell are still OS so unavailable to Mercury. Also Allen with the Liberty. Cambage is scheduled to be back to Wings from CWG in a weeks time.
Any others I'm missing? Rather small contingent.
Mitchell
Whitcomb
Allen
Talbot
Griffin-cut
George
Cambage
