The WNBA Draft is taking place today at 1:00 on ESPN2 and ESPN3.com. Julie Wojta was one of 15 players invited to ESPN and attend the draft, tho I have yet to see a mock draft with a team picking her in the top 12 picks of the first round
Best of luck today Julie!

Julie Wojta becomes the first ever player from UWGB to be drafted by a WNBA team, going #18 overall to the defending champion Minnesota Lynx! Congrats Julie!
The ESPN commentators made it sound like there could be a trade coming after the draft, however.

Here's Scott Venci's article detailing why Wojta is likely to be traded.Pretty awesome honor to go 18 overall. That would be a mid-1st round pick in other sports. Really some great publicity for the program. Hopefully when she gets traded she can stay in the midwest.
