WNBA DRAFT
LYNX MOVES
The Lynx traded Tangela Smith to Phoenix for #1 draft pick Lyndsey Harding. This pick fills a glaring need in the point guard department. My contacts are pleased with the selection.
The Star Tribune has a Q&A with Harding. The Pioneer Press looks at the big changes in store for the Lynx as they move to a more dynamic, athletic style.

VOGEL SELECTED
St. Peter native and South Dakota State grad Megan Vogel was selected 19th in the draft and is headed to the Washington Mystics. The Mankato Free Press has more on the local angle. While the Sioux Falls Argus Leader has more on the SDSU side of the story. SDSU itself has their take on the Vogel pick. On that site you can see the Vogel's video comments
