Lynx, if you let Brooke Smith wear her Stanford number in Minnesota, Stanford fans who own an antique Katie Smith jersey -- um, there might be one -- won't have to buy a new one.

It seems the plan is to move all the NWBL Colorado Chill players to San Antonio, and then drive them back to Colorado. So what's my excuse now for not becoming a Silver Stars fan? They have two of the best Chill, a favorite ex-Monarch, and a Kansas State shooter with a catch-and-shoot time of boom-that-went-down-before-you-can-type-it.

With the 36th pick, Sacramento took West Virginia's Meg Bulger, whose sister Kate was a Lynx draftee and a San Jose Spiders roleplayer. (C'mon, Whiz, at #21 what's the difference between South Florida forward Jessica Dickson and Stanford forward Brooke Smith [who went #23 to Minnesota]? The difference is that everyone at Arco knows, and perhaps loves, Brooke Smith.)

I think Phoenix's Harding-for-Smith move was their Plan B or Plan Q.

In my mock of round one, I dropped Brooke Smith to one of the Connecticut's firsts, and put Katie Gearlds in Detroit's spot. (Originally, you see, my plan was to joke about who was going to be the poutier one on the Shock bench, Bill or Brooke.) I don't think much of Gearlds -- I think she benefits unduly from being named Katie while wearing a Purdue jersey -- but she can shoot, and I figured some GM was going to buy into her hype in the first round. I didn't think it would be as soon as Seattle at #6.

The Associated Press reporter covering the Shock has to talk to Ivory Latta and Elaine Powell regularly.

Shay Doron to New York has got to make some of my friends happy.

You know Indiana was thrilled to get Alison Bales at #9. Their weakness was at center, which they patched with Tammy Sutton-Brown and the best center in the college draft. In the second round, the Fever got Brittany Wilkins' college teammate Lyndsey Medders. Hey, maybe the Indiana-Phoenix league championship I always wanted will finally happen (yeah, OK, different league).

Sidney Spencer, your mouthguard won't pass muster in Hollywood, dear.

OK, Comets fans, when Kristen blocks a shot, or hits a clutch basket, you yell NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLIN! Louder!

Chrissy Givens dropped to #31?! What the hell.

Mike Thibault managed to grab Kiera Hardy two rounds later than I thought.

Washington's Cameo Hicks, and Gonzaga's Stephanie Hawk were not drafted. Perhaps they'll be invited to Seattle's camp.

This far, I like Detroit and Indiana, Phoenix and San Antonio.
