2025 WNBA draft

The link goes to a mock draft. It looks a lot like an NMA draft, lots of international players. The #2 pick is a 6'6" center from France. The Fever might take a 19 year old Russian who may not even be able to play with the W yet. And Lucy is in it.

The draft is tomorrow, April 14, at 6:30 PM on ESPN.

Do you think the Fever consult with CC about who to draft? I'd think maybe so.

Playing for the Washington Mystics

Good for her, will always think of her as a Hawkeye

She really helped to get us to the Dance

Good for Lucy. She didn't shoot very well in camp but we all saw enough of her game to know that will come around.

4 Hawks now on W rosters, that has to be good for recruiting.

The Mystics #1 pick in the draft is out for the year with an ACL. This is Lucy's window of opportunity to make the WNBA long term.

I expect her jersey sales to be high just like Kate Martin's. The chance that you might sell a lot of jersey's has got to help if you are battling for that last spot on the team.

In her debut regular season game, Lucy played 8 minutes, scored 2 points on 1--1 shooting and has an assist. in a Myustics win. Not a bad way to start your W career.

And, I just saw this on X:

Jade Melbourne and Lucy Olsen perimeter defense changed the game and gave DC that buffer .. Great perfomance
