The WNBA Draft, and making it in the United States’ top women’s basketball league, is tough business. As of April 6, 112 players put their name in for draft eligibility for one of 36 draft spots. That means 76 won’t be drafted at all. Then, for the 36 lucky players who hear their name called, over half aren’t likely to make their team.
Odds are certainly stacked against any player that takes a chance on the draft, but former Ohio State women’s basketball guard Taylor Mikesell shouldn’t be overlooked for one of those few spots.
