NEW YORK – The Associated Press polled a panel of WNBA coaches and general managers for a mock draft of the first two rounds of the league's draft that spring, it was announced Thursday. Panelists were limited to college seniors and eligible foreign players, and they could not offer a pick for their own team.
Texas guard Ariel Atkins was projected as a first-round pick by the Connecticut Sun, while guard Brooke McCarty was projected as a second-round pick by the Washington Mystics.
The 2018 WNBA Draft will take place in April, with date and location to be determined.
