These Divas are Dishing!

When it comes to passing and being a top notch point guard, you could say these players know a little thing or two. This is our WNBA Draft Net All-Point Guard Team

Shalee Lehning (Kansas State)
If Shalee Lehning were a campaign tactic, she'd be Joe the Plumber. You know, your typical every day hard worker. That's Lehning. She's not incredibly fast or tall, but what she lacks in those departments she compensates with a competitor's attitude. Some of her better qualities include her incredible decision making and her top notch rebounding from the point guard position. If you want a hard working guard, Shalee's your girl. Oh, and this message is not approved by John McCain.

Kristi Toliver (Maryland)
Once Toliver stepped on campus, Maryland was a different program. A championship program, at that. Toliver has shown throughout her career that she's a good point guard. She can push tempo and find players easily. She's got excellent court vision and a good feel for the game. She can knock down shots for herself or find others to get theirs. She may be the most pro-ready of this class.

Renee Montgomery (Connecticut)
As a FOY in the Big East, it was obvious that Montgomery was sure to be something special. She led the Huskies in steals last season and is an underrated performer. She also was near tops in assists on her team, second only to WNBA first rounder Ketia Swanier. Montgomery can score and pass, which is a luxury that may sell her to WNBA teams.

Kristi Cirone (Illinois State)
What's the difference between Kristi Cirone and Becky Hammon? Hammonites. But I'm sure Kristi will form her own fanbase before we say Russia. Cirone's game is very similar to that of Hammon. First off, she's a knock down shooter, and also works in the lane well. She was the POY in her conference during both her sophomore and junior years and could go for a record third this season! Oh, and she led the nation in A/T!

Teira DeLaHoussaye (Western Michigan))
She's one of the most overlooked guards in the nation, but what Teira does on the defensive end is simply incredibly. In the WNBA, it is important to be able to defend players, even if they're bigger than you. At  only 5'6, DeLaHoussaye has shown she's more than capable. She averaged 3.3 SPG last year while also dishing out 7.8 APG last season.

 Honorable Mention: Juliann Viani (Marist), Sha Brooks (Florida), Kristi Smith (Iowa), Brianne O'Rourke (Penn State), Camille LeNoir (USC), Briann January (ASU).
