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.

The WNBA Draft takes place on April 10.

“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.”
