| There has to be more to this Cain story than what we've been told. Something is not right here. | |

| Having 2 top 5 players drafted and not making the final 4 is a choke job imo. | |

Since people enter the draft early in men's then if you are drafted in the top5 you are one of the top five players in the country, but in women's it only signifies that you are one of the top five seniors in the country. I wish Stricklen and Johnson the best of luck, but I can name some younger players that are better than them. |

I just said that it is not like men's where players leaving early is commonplace (i.e. if this was men's Griner would most likely already be in the WNBA) | |

I see your point. Quote:
