Locked On Women's Basketball: Katie Douglas and the 2002 WNBA Draft

The Next, a 24/7/365 women’s basketball newsroom

The Next: A basketball newsroom brought to you by The IX. 24/7/365 women’s basketball coverage, written, edited and photographed by our young, diverse staff and dedicated to breaking news, analysis, historical deep dives and projections about the game we love.


The three begin the episode by discussing what they know and remember about Douglas. “Katie Douglas did a lot of different things for Purdue,” Adler says. “Her senior year, I struggled to see her doing any of those things in a way that wasn’t, like, obviously stand-out.” Shafer agrees. “She has every secondary skill you could ask for,” he says, echoing Adler’s observations.


Add Locked On Women’s Basketball to your daily routine

Here at The Next, in addition to the 24/7/365 written content our staff provides, we also host the daily Locked On Women’s Basketball podcast. Join us Monday through Saturday each week as we discuss all things WNBA, collegiate basketball, basketball history and much more. Listen wherever you find podcasts or watch on YouTube.


Later on, Cruse, Adler, and Shafer discuss how a player as dynamic as Douglas went tenth overall in the draft. The trio point out phenomena such as Douglas’s reluctance as a shooter, but also her scoring versatility, and her drive to get downhill. So, why did she fall to No. 10? “She’s not a lead creator,” Shafer offers. But Adler and Cruse take it a step further, and Adler offers reasons why her skill set wasn’t as valued in the draft as it could have been.

To wrap things up, the trio discuss Douglas’s WNBA career. “It took her a while to get everything out of her skill set,” Cruse reflects. “She struggled early on.” But then, her career took off and she began gaining recognition, earning awards, and leaving an impact. “So,” Adler says, “player development works.”
