(Radio Iowa) — Iowa All-American Kathleen Doyle hopes to hear her named called during Friday night’s WNBA Draft. Doyle averaged more than 18 points and six assists this past season in being named the Big Ten player of the year. She is projected as a second or third round pick. Rebecca Lobo is an analyst for ESPN.

Lobo says because of free agency several teams have more spots available. With leagues overseas shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic there will be more competition for roster spots.

Lobo says the cancellation of the NCAA Tournament prevented many players from showcasing their talents.
