In reply to: #1, #6, #14, #17, #27 in that mock draft posted by NDoggie78
It's not like football - you don't have to scout thousands of players.
It's hurt us twice with these hurried decisions. They can't focus on the game because of the choices weighing on their minds. If they had a couple days at least, they could wait until after the tourney to make the decision.
It's not fair to the young ladies and not fair to the teams
but truth is the whole stay or go to the WNBA has been out there for Jackie for quite awhile and I seriously doubt this is something that she wasn't aware of before the season started. I'm be shocked if she and her family haven't thought this through and made what they feel is the best decision and that they weren't really under the gun with new information/opportunity that comes up suddenly.
She wasn't herself - I'm guessing this decision was the reason. Maybe Ionescu staying affected the decision - if there was more time, Ionescu might have waited too.
While Jackie knew all season, her stock rose towards the end of the year when mock drafts were coming out.
Now even with a few extra days, we don't know her play would have been any different, but some time after the season ends would seem more fair.
