Number 1 Draft Pick
Goes to LaToya Thomas of Mississippi State. She was followed by Chantelle Anderson (Vandy), Cheryl Ford (Louisiana Tech), Plenette Pierson (Texas Tech), and from Tennessee Kara Lawson and Gwen Jackson in the first round of the WNBA draft. I was a little surprised that Gwen Jackson was picked sixth, but she has had an uneven career at Tennessee. I can't wait to see these women play pro. Detroit has picked up some good players, which could make the team (at last) a real contender.
