Griner set for NBA?
Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma doesn’t think much of Mark Cuban’s notion of drafting Brittney Griner into the NBA.
Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, said Tuesday night that he would consider drafting Griner, the 6-foot-8 senior standout for Baylor.
Cuban told reporters that if Griner is the best player available, “I will take her.”
“Right now, I’d lean toward yes, just to see if she can do it,” he said. “You never know.”
Griner responded with a tweet: “I would hold my own! Lets do it”
Auriemma said Wednesday that Cuban is a financial genius, but “his genius would take a huge hit if he drafted Brittney Griner.”
