Reeve gives her thoughts on several players likely to be drafted next week

With the WNBA Draft just a week away, Minnesota Lynx Head Coach/General Manager Cheryl Reeve was among one of four WNBA head coaches that spoke during a pre-draft media conference call on Tuesday afternoon. Reeve also recorded a new episode of “The Cheryl Reeve Show” in the last week, talking about how five Lynx players are already in town, including Karima Christmas-Kelly, Alexis Jones, and Danielle Robinson. She also had a story about Seimone Augustus in the locker room that you have to hear to believe.

Throughout the conference call, Reeve was asked to talk about many different players as the Lynx prepare to draft in the number 6 spot next week. The Lynx also have picks 16, 18 and 20 overall in the second round and the 30th overall pick in the third round. Read below to hear what Reeve has to say about a variety of both NCAAW and International talent ahead of the draft.

The WNBA Draft takes place on April 10.

NOTE: The players are listed in the order they were asked about during the conference call. This is to keep the fluidity and clarity of what Reeve says throughout the call.

Alexis Jennings: South Carolina

“Alexis is a player we’ve watched for a couple years now. She has the size, has some skill in the post. I would say that her draft stock probably has remained the same from last year, when she could have entered, to this year. She’s a player that I think will be drafted. The difficulty will be can she make a team, and that’s going to be true for at least half of the players in the draft.”
