Welcome!

The WNBA season is months away, but it's never too early to start thinking about the 2008 WNBA Draft. Hyped as the most anticipated draft in women's professional basketball history, the 2008 WNBA Draft will have it's fair share of big names and even bigger games. In this blog, we hope to shed a little light on some of the better prospects at each position or skill and look to keep up-to-date on their progress as they conclude their collegiate careers.

Introducing...The Underrated



  • Sarah-Jo Lawrence(George Washington): While she’s not the flashiest player out there, Lawrence’s value to her team is evident from her ability to put points on the floor against even the nation’s best teams. When you think about shooting, you think about Sarah-Jo Lawrence.
    -
  • Kia Wright(St Johns): Though playing out of position at the point and being overshadowed by kids at UConn and Rutgers in the process, Wright finds a way to get her teammates involved and still puts plenty of points on the board.
    -
  • Patrice Reado(Texas A&M): For a team that depends mostly on the athleticism on the perimeter, it’s this “big” girl in the middle who deserves more credit for doing the dirty work. Reado is an important part in Texas A&M's recent success.
    -
  • Charel Allen(Notre Dame): Allen nearly doubled her scoring average from her sophomore year to her junior season yet she is a relative unknown on the national scene (despite being a Wade Trophy candidate). It's hard to believe that more people aren't talking about one of the most fearless players in women's college basketball, especially after the way she kept her team fighting tooth and nail with a more talented UNC team in the NCAA second round a season ago.
    -
  • Tamera Young(James Madison): Voted the preseason CAA Player of the Year, Young has done her part in maintaining the nation's longest home winning streak. The 6-2 has already registered a 30-point game this season and will lead her new-look Dukes against the likes of Maryland, VCU, and of course Old Dominion.
