Georgia's Humphrey Prepares For WNBA Draft

ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia's Tasha Humphrey is one of 20 top collegiate players who will be on hand for the WNBA Draft, which will be held in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. The draft will be televised live on ESPN2.
Humphrey wrapped up her collegiate career with the Lady Bulldogs ranked No. 2 and No. 4 on the school's career leaders ledgers for points and rebounds, respectively. She holds the Georgia records for career free throws attempted and made and also ranks among the Lady Dogs' top-10 career leaders in games started, field goals made, field goals attempted and blocked shots.

Humphrey, a 6-3, forward from Gainesville, Ga., was named All-America each of her four seasons at Georgia. She also was tabbed first-team All-SEC four times by both league coaches and the Associated Press, one of only three players in SEC history to accomplish that feat.

Humphrey took part in the WNBA combine last Friday and Saturday in Tampa and is expected to be a first-round pick.

Humphrey will become the latest in a long line of Georgia stars to go one to play in the WNBA. All told, 18 former Lady Bulldogs have played in the league, including eight during the 2007 campaign. Georgia has produced seven first-round draft picks in the last seven years alone. Headlining that group are Deanna Nolan, a perennial All-Star and MVP of the 2006 WNBA Finals for the Detroit Shock, and Kelly Miller, starting point guard for the 2007 WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury.
