"Whittington, one of only 20 prospects invited to attend the draft was the 26th overall selection in the three-round draft. "

That's sort of sad that she got selected after at least 6 people who were not even invited.

They have 3 rounds in the WNBA draft? It must be 50% better than the NBA.

4/9/2008 10:29:22 PM

Why is the draft so soon after the tournament? Wasn't the championship just yesterday?

It's kind of sad that you can't add.

I thought that as soon as I posted it, but I felt like I'd make someone's day by letting them correct me.

haha

it always makes me happy to know that i make more money than some professional athletes!

makes me feel less like i wasted my life on an education

4/9/2008 11:22:22 PM

ok maybe i've had too much calculus and it ruined regular math for, but what was wrong with his math

26th pick - 20 people invited = 6

therefore, at least 6 non-invitees drafted before her?

what am i missing?

4/9/2008 11:25:42 PM

I guess your math assumes that only the top twenty prospects were invited.

IDK

4/9/2008 11:28:58 PM

i think their rationale is that it would be at least 5, as she would be the 26 person, leaving 25 picked before her

25-20=5

but she is part of the 20 people invited which would be 25 picked before her, leaving 19 of which possibly being invited

25-19=6

[Edited on April 9, 2008 at 11:48 PM. Reason : it's either math or english]

4/9/2008 11:34:26 PM

He was going by 20 people plus the 5 that would have been selected before her, not counting her as the 26th. But she counts as one of those twenty invited so if we assume that the other 19 invited players were picked before her there was still 6 people who were not invited picked before her

I didn't originally subtract her out of the 20, but my first post was right after all.

^beat me to it

New rule: no arithmetic after 11 pm.

4/9/2008 11:49:17 PM

it's always good times when someone trolls and then gets called out as less than intelligent

4/9/2008 11:51:11 PM

Because simple math errors on internet message boards are a key indicator of intelligence.

4/9/2008 11:54:08 PM

says the guy who tried to call someone out on their ability to add b/c of a perceived simple math error

I still want to be the king of math/spelling errors on TWW.

I know that I have been off of my game lately, but I can see that the competition is getting hot.

why do you think there's the desparity in graduation rates between male and female ncaa basketball players?

the females know they'll have to have a real job after their playing days are over, and w/o a degree, good luck.
