Tan White, #2: Indiana is "something I was hoping for."

Merc pick Irvin scores, blocks shots and has a famous uncle. If you've missed it so far, do read this March story about her hard life.

SASS pick Wecker expects to adjust to the small forward spot.

Mann: "Katie Smith... is going to take care of me" in Minnesota.

Washington's Hargrove calls Temeka Johnson "the consummate point guard," even though she's really short and won't often shoot threes. Johnson: "The size of my heart adds a couple of inches." She'll rejoin LSU teammate Aisha Smith.

Haynie says she can bring Sacramento a running game. Laimbeer:"We're a little disappointed we didn't get Haynie.... We'll have more talks to see if we can bring her back home ... but it's more difficult to get things done after the draft." Lynx fans: "Sure is."

Blaze says Moore "is the backup point guard to Becky Hammon." Lib fans say "Aaargh."

Voepel files her long and careful take on this year's top eight.
