The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

WNBA history a few hours away

Tennessee’s Candace Parker will be the first underclassman — or is it underclasswoman…or underclassperson? — to be drafted today and will almost certainly go No. 1 to the Los Angeles Sparks. A while later, WVU’s Meg Bulger should earn the unique honor of being the first person drafted twice.

Meg was picked last year by the Sacramento Monarchs, who were quite proud of themselves.

Q: Thoughts on Bulger?

Boucek: “Bulger is not on the radar because of her injuries (torn ACL). We feel like she’s a sleeper, too. She’s a very high-percentage shooter and you can always use those. She probably won’t play this year, which is better for us because next year is an expansion year. We’ll see where she is physically and whenever we do get her, we’re excited to see if she would be a piece for us.”

So true. She was a sleeper and she wouldn’t play that year — because Bulger wasn’t eligible for the draft.

There seems to be a theme this year that many schools will get multiple players selected in the three rounds and WVU would have to be one of them. Bulger should hear her name called since, you know, she’s available, and the guess is it’ll be some time after teammate Olayinka Sanni.

Not sure where they’ll go, but according to different mock drafts — who knew? –neither is a first-round pick. Nevertheless, you can track the action online.
