Round 2

A WNBA agent pinged me recently, incredulous that in the last mock, Marie Gulich went 28th. She’s definitely risen on draft boards since then, thanks to an NCAA Tournament that included a double-double on the road against Tennessee, and a 26 and nine effort to take down Baylor’s big duo of Kalani Brown and Lauren Cox. Think of Gulich as a proxy for proving that too many undervalued the Pac-12 as a whole this year.
