And just think of all the priders who said no way. WAY as she showed them. Kinda thought Kelley might get a sniff but maybe at one of the summer camps if she is interested.
Congrats SGA

Not many WNBA players can play defense and score like Kelley.

SGA was the only A-10 player drafted in the first three rounds. Do they do more than three rounds?

Nope. I believe that's it.

Ran across this article on Grant-Allen from earlier this year explaining her jersey number switch from 55 to 00.

congrats saicha! I remember one of the opposing coaches saying that she would be drafted. He also lamented that she wasn't playing for his school

Too bad the schedule doesn't allow her to attend the banquet or graduation.

She had four fouls in 25 minutes. Also made a three. What is she doing shooting threes?

She got away doing some three point shooting at UD but much more of that won't help her making LA. Mikaela Ruff from Stanford and Beavercreek played nine minutes and is also trying to make the team.

That stinks. Hopefully, she can go play overseas and make a lot more money.
Go Flyers!

No Flyer to follow in the WNBA - that's sad. I'll still watch especially when the NBA playoffs are over. What impact will Kelsey Plum have her rookie year? How will Delle Donne do in Washington? Lots of angles to watch for.

Grant-Allen one of 33 players invited to Canadian Women’s National Team Program Assessment camp.
Players making the cut will travel to Spain and France for a five-game exhibition tour.
Go Saicha!!
