I wrote a WNBA mock draft. It's only one round and it probably sucks.
Also, it's an especially futile exercise this winter because we know basically nothing about how each team will look. But the prospects are still playing and they deserve to be talked about.

No.
It just reminds you that you’re still here long enough to do the saving yourself.
