Shay Returns to the Big Apple! Maryland's Heart & Soul, Shay Doron, was drafted today by the New York Liberty of the WNBA. Shay was the third player selected in Round 2 of the Draft. Shay will be joining another rookie, Jessica Davenport of Ohio State, who was acquired as part of a surprise trade today that sent Liberty All-Star Becky Hammon to the San Antonio Silver Stars.The BasketCases are really happy for Shay, who gets to return to one of her homes. And Lib fans . . . you are going to LOVE Shay!!
More on the WNBA draft later . . .
Note: The Liberty play the Mystics in Washington at the Verizon Center twice this summer: Friday, August 3rd and Thursday, August 16th. Both games tip-off at 7:00 PM. If you aren't already a Mystics season ticketholder (you should be!) be sure to buy your tickets for these games now, so you don't miss out on the opportunity to welcome Shay back to one of her other homes, the DC area!

Looks like some trips to NY are in store this summer. Shay will fill the vacancy left by Becky Hammon. I now have to cheer for the Liberty..dang. Well maybe just Shay.
The first player selected in round 2? I thought she was the third. 16th pick overall. That's what it says on the WNBA site...
I hope they post the clip somewhere, like on the Under The Shell site, because I missed it. I went to the ESPN zone thing for a bit, but I had to leave to get back to work, and she was drafted while I was in transit...
Ooops! Yes, Shay was indeed the #3 pick in Round 2!
That's what I get for multi-tasking!
It's now correct.

It was added to YouTube last night. Not the best video quality, but it's really nice to see the reaction from Shay and her parents. :)
The video was put up by the people who're in the middle of making Shay's official web page - www.shaydoron.net
The youtube vid is available for download at her site, which is currently still under construction. They're updating the news on her drafting every so often though.
