ESPN's logistics.

Mock draft roundup, including mine.

Players:

Breanna Stewart will be great right away for the Seattle Storm.

Moriah Jefferson's pre-draft diary. She could make Dallas-area history in the draft.

Stewart and Jefferson seem a 1-2 lock, but what about Morgan Tuck?

South Carolina's Tiffany Mitchell will learn her pro fate tomorrow.

South Florida's Courtney Williams aims high in the draft.

Texas' Imani Boyette prepares to take the next step in the family business. She may soon follow in her mother's footsteps.

How Talia Walton snapped out of a senior slump and upped her draft stock.

Aerial Powers should live her dream, Michigan State coach Suzy Merchant says.

Rachel Banham aims to be great in the WNBA.

Oregon State's Jamie Weisner and Ruth Hamblin are expected to be drafted.

Tennessee's Bashaara Graves is ready for the draft, but she isn't stressed about it.

Kentucky guard Janee Thompson hopes to earn a spot.

FGCU's Whitney Knight is excited and nervous for tomorrow.

The Lynx/Reeves need to not underestimate the impact trade Natasha Howard can have when her skills are allowed to be accessed-see Indiana Rookie yr/FST 4 yr record setting stats.
