My hands are shaking like a leaf, and you'd swear I'd never been on television before. I thought I was getting drafted. We all pretty much knew who'd go first, second and third. But the next 13 in the first round were toss-ups in terms of order. We soon discovered that the players we thought might go higher had dropped for one reason or another.
Coaches are fickle that way.
For one solid week, for instance, Nancy Darsch had talked about Grace Daley, and then she takes Mills - which incidentally was exactly what she should have done. The Mystics needed a post player like The Artist formerly known as Prince needs purple. I was surprised that Renee Robinson of Virginia had not been called by the third round. She'd had a solid predraft camp, but I really believe that her performance in the Tennessee game during the NCAA regional semis hurt her. Houston is a perfect place for her.
