Sancho Lyttle,
Houston Comets
"Everybody is saying that Seimone
Augustus is going to be the top pick coming out of the Draft on April 5, but there
are several other great players like Monique Currie, Cappie Pondexter and Sophia
Young from Baylor. But who knows what position certain teams need and will go
with when it comes around time to pick. Sophia Young is from my country, so I
am hoping she makes it at least in the top five."
Kristen Mann, Minnesota Lynx
"The
Lynx have the first pick barring any trade and I have to think that the team will
go with a guard like Seimone Augustus. Trust me, she is that good. I never played
with Monique Currie, but I did get a chance to play with Cappie Pondexter during
one summer with a USA Basketball select team. She has that international experience
that will help her excel at the next level. I mean, come on, I think she's been
on like five different USA teams."
Kendra Wecker, San Antonio
Silver Stars
"Seimone Augustus, Cappie Pondexter, Monique Currie and
Sophia Young stand out for like everyone has been saying all season long. They
are dynamic players who have a knack for making things happen. They each have
unique skills, obviously, as Cappie is a point guard, Monique and Seimone are
two-three combo players and Sophia Young is a post player who does so much for
Baylor. Having played against her in the Big 12 for three season, I have seen
her grow so much every year in their program. She is very much on pace to break
my scoring record that I set last year and her game has extended even further
from the basket. She has improved her outside shooting and has a more well-rounded
game. I am excited to see how good she can be at this level."
Lindsay Whalen, Connecticut
Sun
"Well everyone has a consensus of who they feel as being the
top four or five. You'll hear their names a lot during the NCAA Tournament and
into the Draft. And deservedly so. Seimone Augustus, Cappie Pondexter, Monique
Currie and Sophia Young are at the top, but after that, I'm excited to see some
sleepers that come on during Tournament time, because that's the time to shine,
you know? I know that those top four players, that's a pretty solid group there,
but it will be interesting to see who else breaks out."
Kristin Haynie, Sacramento
Monarchs
"I definitely think Liz Shimek (Mich State teammates) deserve
their shot along with some of the top players out there. I got to see how good
Baylor's Sophia Young was in the NCAA Tournament championship game last year and
I think she will be among the top picks. Seimone Augustus and Cappie Pondexter
are the top players to come out, I think."
