Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, April 09, 2004

Over at WNBA.com, Ann Meyers has some pretty good analysis of the frontcourt players in the draft.

She says Hayden and Thomas will go first. After that, it opens up. Lots of folks have Ohlde and Brunson going after that, but Shameka Christon could sneak up.

Christon has apparently been turning heads at draft camp, and she may go as high as mid-first round.

Says Meyers: "Shameka Christon was the best player that nobody really knew about in the country. She was the SEC Player of the Year and has the ability and skill that reminds me of a young Sheryl Swoopes. She can shoot the outside shot, put the ball on the floor, rebound and is so tough inside. Christon will be a diamond in the rough and may come in under some people’s radar."
