Taking a look at each team's needs and the best players available, storm.wnba.com makes a final prediction on who will end up going where tomorrow. This mock draft is for recreational use only, and always keep in mind storm.wnba.com's mock draft guarantee: All predictions wrong or your money back. (See, you don't pay anything to read this … um ... you get the picture.)

		C Jessica Davenport Might the Mercury go for a point guard? Those rumors still exist less than 24 hours from the Draft. However, I still think they'll add depth up front with Davenport.
		G Lindsey Harding Sounds more and more like Dan Hughes will go for Harding instead of NCAA rival Ivory Latta.
		G Armintie Price Price has shot up draft boards within the past week. It's not realistic that she will go amongst the top two picks, but after that, all bets are off.
		G Ivory Latta The Lynx has several youngsters at the point, but none has yet flashed star potential. Latta can be that good, though her stock may have slipped.
		C Alison Bales Monday's trade that sent Kelly Schumacher to Phoenix seems like a sure sign that the Liberty is looking to the post with this pick. Cathrine Kraayeveld and Barbara Farris are much more fours than fives, so Bales makes sense for New York - particularly at the defensive end of the floor.
		F Tiffany Jackson Jackson dropping out of the top five wasn't expected entering the NCAA Tournament. I don't see her falling any further than that.
		G Noelle Quinn As StormWatch subscribers are aware thanks to yesterday's exclusive mock draft, I had the Storm picking Katie Gearlds with Gearlds and Quinn both on the board. What favors Quinn? Her ability to play point guard could be useful for the Storm.
		G Lyndsey Medders Still sticking with Medders here and the Comets filling their need at the point.
		F Katie Gearlds Could the Fever resist hometown favorite Gearlds if she's still on the board? Hard to see it, given she's the best talent available and Indiana lacks any pressing needs.
		C Brooke Smith The Sky is in the unusual position of having a lot of depth at most positions but not necessarily top-tier depth. The post is relatively light, and Smith's polished paint game could help out there.
		F Camille Little It's always wise to figure Bill Laimbeer to pick the best player available, and Little would fit the bill with the 11th pick.
		F Kamesha Hairston Hairston would give Connecticut an athletic backup forward the Sun doesn't have right now to complement Kristen Rasmussen and Megan Mahoney.
		G Chrissy Givens Mike Thibault may not necessarily want to pick a guard, but there's not a lot of talent up front to justify a first-round pick and a second wing or tweener forward would be redundant after picking Hairston. As a result, look for them to go to the backcourt.
