- Title
Predicting the WNBA Draft: What Matters Most from College Performance?
- Authors
Harris, Jill; Berri, David J.
- Abstract
The reverse-order draft has been the subject of a number of studies in the economics literature. These studies generally examine the quality of decisions teams make in this process. The results in the studies of the NFL, NBA, and MLB all highlight problems with the player evaluation process. This study contributes to this literature and the broader literature on gender economics via an examination of the WNBA. Similar to other studies, we also find issues with decision-making in the WNBA draft.
