The league sent out a release yesterday about the draft lottery being held this week. What that means for those that don’t know is that the order of the first five picks in the 2010 WNBA Draft will be determined. Basically, teams that didn’t make the playoffs are lottery teams however this year, because of a trade, NY doesn’t have a lottery pick and Minnesota has two. After that, the rest of the first round and second and third rounds will be determined by the inverse order of the team’s regular season records.
From the release:
Fourteen balls numbered 1-14 will be placed in a lottery machine and mixed. Four balls will then be drawn to the top to determine a four-digit combination. The team that has been assigned that four-ball combination will receive the No. 1 pick. The four balls will then be placed back into the machine and the process will be repeated to determine the second and third picks.
So that’s how it’s going down this Thursday – should be pretty exciting around here to see where we end up. While the picks will be important, I have to be honest and say that I’m sure the PT will handle her business. I mean really, we had five Olympians on the roster last year and she brought in Betty Lennox and Noelle Quinn. WE saw that team this year every now and then and on paper, it looks pretty good. So have no fear that the missing pieces will be put together and will turn into a product that we all will like.
I’ll probably throw another blog up on Thursday or Friday to let you know what’s going on with the Draft Lottery and how things shake out.
Lastly, I love November… it’s filled with holidays; Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I have to give thanks just for that! Just kidding, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and for those of you that get Veteran’s Day off, enjoy it… I’ll be at Disneyland for my birthday because it’s the happiest place on earth!
That’s all I’ve got…
