Nice wrap up. Good luck to both of them.

Just a note, at the bottom of your article you state the date as 11 March when it should be 11 April.

Live now on ESPN.

Smith goes to Phoenix with the #8 pick :D

Yep - Sandy could not let her go past!

Ezi Magbegor at #12 with Seattle!

Well that worked out perfectly with aussie going to my 2 fav teams :)

Great result for both to be first round picks and both to teams with plenty of history of Aussie connections. Well done to them both!

100%

Such great news for both Alanna and Ezi!

Now awaiting news of where Liz would be playing. Is LA calling?

Apparently LA may use their 7th draft pick as a trade piece.

Lachy France managed to speak with Ezi Magbegor after being drafted today, as well as Storm head coach Dan Hughes. This is a great read well worth it.

Ezi Magbegor ready to carve out her own identity with the Seattle Storm

Hughes compares Ezi's maturity with that of a 19-year-old Penny Taylor.

Looks like Liz Cambage on SBS TV tonight 8.30 pm 'The Feed'

As to whether Magbegor will be part of the roster immediately, Hughes remained non-committal, stating, "That's not been determined. We’ll discuss that, we’ll figure out what’s best for her."

I would have thought teams could do a lot worse than snapping up Aokuso with a third round pick.

Was eligible for last year's draft, therefore no longer eligible to be drafted, but anyone is welcome to sign her as a free agent. I'm a little surprised that I haven't heard any chatter yet about a team being interested in her.

Saw the Liz Cambage spectacular ... WNBA in May , then Tokyo is mostly on her mind right now ..

I reckon it's Coachella that is mostly on her mind right now but it's good to know that the WNBA and Tokyo are still on the list.

For anyone who missed it

Was disappointed that the Lynx passed on Smith but happy for both players and here's hoping they have good careers.

"Ezi has stated that she won't be going to Seattle this year. Which is probably the right call, because cracking a championship roster is far from a certainty for a raw youngster. Developing her game is a good idea - I just hope that playing for the Supercats doesn't compromise that development. I trust that in between beating up on weaker front court opponents she is doing plenty of individual work. “

I wonder if the injury to Breanna Stewart will change things as far as Ezi goes. Seattle May want her on their roster this season now.

It's a possibility that's worth looking at, but Ezi doesn't really fill the role left vacant by Stewie so I doubt they change their plans for her after this.
(I could see them giving Tokashiki a call though if she is healthy again. I assume they still own her rights and she is more a like-for-like player)

Saw Cambage again on ABC TV 'The Weeekly' and thought most interesting is the secret of who she is playing for in WNBA.
The main stream media are more interested in an Olympian saying 'White washed Australia'
