Who will go number one?

The Connecticut Sun have the first pick in Monday's WNBA draft. Will they take Chiney Ogwumike, as has been expected? Coach Anne Donovan isn't saying.

More analysis from ESPN on Ogwumike and other draft prospects.

I hear alot of discord in Conn. camp. If true how will Chiney
(or anyone else) make a difference?

"Problems with her left knee began while [Rhema] Gardner was a junior in high school in 2009. She tore her ACL on a fastbreak layup in a game and had surgery to repair it but never had the proper rehabilitation."

There are too many stories like this. Do high schools oversee the care and rehab of their student-athletes? or is it up to family?

With the chatter swirling around this draft I wouldn't be surprised with any major moves within those first 5 picks especially if CON doesn't take Chiney...some have sad this is a "depth" draft and I believe if you want to beat MIN you definitely need major contributions from the bench

Scamp, are you serious? Schools here in California don't even have a trainer at basketball games. They don't pay attention to any rehabilitation efforts. They can't even keep their schools staffed. We are in an education crisis in this country.
