Norwood Basketball Club - Community Help Required

Stop replying to yourself. It’s embarrassing.

I feel it is remiss of the club to not be sending their imports back to their home countries they should be home at this time and not abroad.

“If she is the best on the board, I will take her. I’ve thought about it. I’ve thought about it already. Would I do it? Right now, I’d lean toward yes, just to see if she can do it. You never know unless you give somebody a chance, and it’s not like the likelihood of any late-50s draft pick has a good chance of making it.”
Big gimmick but no chance of it being more than that.

Griner responded on Twitter:
"I would hold my own! Lets do it"
Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said:
"I think it would be a sham," he said. "The fact that a woman could actually play right now in the NBA and compete successfully against the level of play that they have is absolutely ludicrous."
Cuban is worming around it a bit:
"We evaluate every draft-eligible player on the planet," Cuban said in an email to USA Today responding to Auriemma's criticism. "The chance of any college graduate selected at the end of the draft making a roster is very, very small. We wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't consider everyone.

"As I told the media yesterday, she would have to excel in workouts to get drafted. I have no problem giving her that opportunity. I hope she gives it a shot.

"Nothing harms an organization or company more than a closed mind."
I liked this article on Yahoo, with a headline:
Mark Cuban mentions drafting Brittney Griner because ‘hey everybody, let’s look at Mark Cuban!’
And this finale:
It’s not marketing genius, sports fans. It’s a lack of imagination.
