2 points vs. 26 points in the Championship, another reason why the WNBA is a joke
Destanni Henderson falls in WNBA draft, UConn guard Williams and others chosen before her
- Thread starter Cocky 45
- Start date
Pick based on the championship stats? Makes sense! Not sure i would want you in my front office.
I would love for the WNBA execs to explain to me why the UConn players are actually better than ours
Kayla Pointer from LSU selected in First round by her Aunt Nikki Vargas who is the President of the Aces. Kayla is the same size as Destanni and we beat LSU twice. Destanni was a huge part of the Gamecocks winning season, not just the Championship. Shoots 40% from 3, relentless defender, and I'd bet all my $$ she's faster than any player drafted tonight. Yes, I do care about all Gamecock sports.
I had no luck finding a draft party at the local bars.
does it matter? the result is the same whether people watched it or not
Unfortunately the draft seems to value height and I believe she was the shortest person drafted nor related to a WNBA. Destanni is a good defender and pretty good 3 point shooter too, definitely got overlooked.
It was definitely some nepotism at play. Both Pointer and Aifuwa another former LSU player under Fargas was drafted to Vegas as well
Well, you could say that about every sporting event, tv show, movie etc that's ever been televised. So I take it you don't own a TV if that's your perspective?
I wasn't following last night, but ESPN did give Indiana (who drafted Henderson) an "A" on their draft report card. Also mentioned that it's possible that Henderson doesn't make the roster - but that she has a good chance because of her defense.
All sports are littered with players that were great in college, but just didn't quite have a game that translated to the pros. I don't think Henderson falls into that category yet by any means, so I'm rooting for her to prove all those teams that passed on her wrong.

Yes and yes. I didn't watch it (it was on ESPN) but I followed it on the internet until Henderson got drafted. I wanted to see where she ended up. Guess I'm just a better Gamecock fan than you.
