Merchant: Powers should live her dream in leap to WNBA

And in tonight’s WNBA draft, Powers could be selected as high as No. 2, behind consensus No. 1 Breanna Stewart, who led Connecticut to four consecutive NCAA championships.

If Powers goes in the top five, she would be the highest pick ever in Michigan State history (Kristin Haynie went No. 9 in 2005).

“As a mom and a coach, all you ever want is for your kids to live their dreams,” Merchant said. “It was a positive thing. I was sad, of course. I love her. There’ll never be another kid like her.”

I wish nothing but the best for this fine young lady... a scholar and an athlete.. everything that I, as a proud graduate of MSU, could ever hope for in a kid.

Nice to see the PR machine get ramped up for the WNBA draft.

Sarcasm aside, good for recruiting.

[NigelUno]

Mock drafts have her going #3, #4, or #5.

Interesting that she transferred to Pitt from South Carolina, then transferred again to MSU five months later, if I'm reading that right.

Floyd should do it. He seems to like women's basketball, or at least women and basketball.

First response on Instagram is from Day Day: "Twins." That's a man who was raised right.
