ATL92 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Looking forward to seeing her in the WNBA. See 3rd round projections http://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/25881161/wnba-mock-draft-2019-predicting-all-three-rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TML1000 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 A few other publications have her as a 2nd rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchcountry7 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 What type of money does a second or third round WNBA player make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Coach Jack said she should be a first round pick. May be a bit optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why a lot of the players, even the first rounders and stars, play overseas in the WNBA off season. The need the second jobs to be able to afford to live.

But I seem to recall the top WNBA players make something like $75k. Which makes me wonder if second or third round players can make a living. If they are on par with recent college grad starting salaries it would be one thing but if getting drafted only means $15k, then it would seem more like an accomplishment to hang on your wall and not really utilize.

ed Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 wnba is really a joke. max salary is $115k, min salary $41k. even top picks aren't guranteed a contract. top women's players overseas make a couple million. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/sports/wnba-los-angeles-sparks.html https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/18/sports/basketball/diana-taurasi-focusing-on-playing-in-russia-where-the-money-is.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareub46 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 That’s sad about the WNBA... but great for Cierra and the university. I’m assuming this would be the first UB woman to be drafted. Everything helps this upward trend for the school. First with Khalil getting drafted so high, then the success with the basketball teams last year and potentially draft picks from football, men’s and women’s basketball this year.
