Daily News | WNBA draft story lines: Who will land Maddy Siegrist? Where will Keishana Washington be drafted?
, Washington was picked late in the second round, 22nd overall by the Connecticut Sun, which puts her in the mix to be the second Drexel player ever drafted. But if she isn’t drafted, Washington could get an opportunity with one of the league’s 12 teams, even if it’s just a training camp deal.
With the new prioritization clause this season, ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo pointed out that veteran players must report to their team by training camp, instead of having extra time before they need to arrive, like in years past. “You aren’t going to have as much opportunity to really evaluate some of those later-round picks or camp invitees,” Lobo said. “So it’ll be a little bit of an interesting situation as far as that goes this year.”This past weekend arguably was the biggest ever for women’s basketball in the United States. On Friday, the two Final Four games averaged 4.
“I’m really hopeful that the buzz carries over to the [WNBA], and the main reason for that is the product on the court has been living up to every bit of the hype,” Lobo said. “When you look at the playoffs last year in the WNBA, the WNBA Finals, the level of play on the court is the best we’ve seen. And we saw that this year with the Final Four as well.
