For the last four years - we watched Jacinta Monroe lead the FSU Lady Noles to be a perennial NCAA basketball power. Just 3 months ago she was playing center for the top ten ranked team from Tallahassee. She was drafted by the Mystic of the WNBA. They play in the arena just two blocks down the street from our hotel. We were all set to see her play last night.
Just before game time - Lulu read on the net that Cin broke her hand and would be out for 6 to 8 weeks. That stinks.
Cin was drafted in the first round by the Mystics. In the NBA - men are guaranteed about $4 million if selected in the first round. But in the WNBA - I think the top draft choice received a $35,000 signing salary.
