The Roundup
Happy WNBA draft Friday! We’re sure most of you, like us, have been missing live sports, and we are excited to have them return - even if it is just for one night.
We’ll be tuned in to the draft tonight (which airs at 7:00 p.m. ET, on ESPN) so be sure to follow along with us on Twitter while you’re watching. Immediately following all three rounds (9:00 p.m. ET), join us live on Twitter for our post-draft show. Our team will be discussing the draft, breaking down picks and more.
In the meantime, ahead of tonight’s big event, catch up on some of the great draft content below:
What We’re Working On
John Liddle crushed it on the podcast this week with two new episodes. Our team (virtually) got together and conducted a mock draft (pre-Tina Charles trade, so take it for what it’s worth). John was also joined by Dallas Wings’ General Manager, Greg Bibb, this week.
Megan Gauer rounded up the most important stats on the top 40 WNBA draft prospects, in our quick reference guide. You can also see them all on Twitter under #WNBADraftStats.
Calvin Wetzel went into more detail on what skills the potential first-round picks will bring to the teams that draft them, in his virtual combine.
Aaron Barzilai brought us some analysis of the PLUM model (the first publicly available WNBA draft model we are aware of) and what it tells us about this year’s prospects.
Calvin also chatted with current players in the league, draft prospects and NCAA hoopers on how they’re staying sharp during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
