When asked if she was staying on at UT after last night's championship win, Candace Parker said "Why wouldn't I?". Most everyone is reading that with relief this morning, taking it to mean she's staying. But she didn't really say she was staying, did she? She answered with a rhetorical question: Why wouldn't I? Apparently Parker has until 10 AM this morning, a little over one hour from now as I type this, to decide. Maybe she's waiting for an answer to her rhetorical question. She could go to the WNBA, which wouldn't pay much but endorsements could be lucrative. Or, according to ESPN sportscasters last night, she could go to Europe and earn more than $1 million in salary and endorsements. Or maybe both. She also said "This is where I want to be." I recall the Orlando Magic's Shaquille O'Neal saying the same thing days before he engineered a trade to the Lakers. I'm no expert on all this, but the tall, smart, talented, and attractive lady hasn't sung yet, until as of 10 AM today. Hopefully she will decide to stay on and go for a repeat in 2008. UPDATE: Phoenix first draft pick: Lindsey Harding. Candace Parker is not in the lineup. No word from the Russian draft... UPDATE: Sidney Spencer goes to the Los Angeles Sparks late in the 2nd Round at 25.
