WNBA picks Carolina pair
Posted Apr 10, 2008
Two North Carolina women's basketball players were selected at the end of the first round of today's WNBA Draft, although the order is somewhat surprising. N.C. State's Khadijah Whittington and Duke's Wanisha Smith went in the second round. LaToya Pringle went 13th to the Phoenix Mercury, while Erlana Larkins was picked by the New York Liberty as the last pick of the first round.
