Third Round

I’m going to let Brenda Frese, Maryland coach, explain why teams ought to be drafting Blair Watson, because I agree with every word. “It’s kind of funny, because we didn’t recruit Blair because of her defense. In one of her last high school games in New Jersey, she had 48 points. Our fans have seen her offensive outbursts here at Maryland. She has one of the most effortless looking shots you’ll ever see.  So she really fits that profile of the ‘three and D’ player that you hear about in the NBA. She has tremendous defensive instincts, she studies the scout and I think what constantly takes people by surprise is the quickness of her hands. I don’t know how you even measure that, but you see it over and over again. An opponent thinks they have the ball securely and in the blink of an eye, Blair has knocked it loose. She really picked up the new defensive scheme we installed this season and has helped her teammates learn it.” If that doesn’t sound like a Tamika Catchings-type player, I don’t know who does.
