Question #14
MJ's Take...
I expect to see 17-20 (all 13 first-rounders, three to five second-rounders, and one or two third-rounder) kids on opening day rosters. I expect at least three of those players (including at least one 1st rounder) to be waived by midseason, and it could be more than that if the league incurs an unusual rash of injuries (and it turns out that there are even fewer WNBA-ready players in this class than previously anticipated).
PS's Take...
10-12, things are just too tight and there are some very strong veterans still available in free agency.
CD's Take...
I'm going to be optimistic and say 18-22 range. I think there are some quality players out there that fill key needs for these teams. Now, whether they will stay on the team is up for question, but I think on opening weekend, we will see close to 20 rookies making teams. If injuries to veterans take place, we could see even more.
