Just to clarify on the lottery draft.
The Mercury stand fourth going into the draft but mathematically could end up seventh. Odds favor them not picking lower than fifth.
Odds for getting a top 3 pick are: Detroit (2 picks in top 8 because it also has Orlando's for Wendy Palmer) 41.8 percent; Miami (2 picks in top 8 because it has Minnesota's for Betty Lennox) 23; Cleveland 20.6; Phoenix 9.2; Sacramento 5.1; Portland 1.8.
No date has yet been announced for the lottery draft.
Reports of the league going to 34 regular season games are true although that has not been announced officially yet. I don't know for sure yet if the playoffs are being lengthened but the season will end more like mid-September. |

Thanks Jeff! Any insight on who/what's out there that might fit into the Mercury mix? Will the Merc go college or international or package the pick in a trade?
That's a lovely color you're wearing today, mb 8) |
