While many teams fared well in Monday's WNBA draft, no one did better than Bill Laimbeer and the New York Liberty.

As expected, Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins were the first three draft picks Monday. Now it's time for the trio to play well and help the WNBA continue to grow.

Before Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins, there was Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes and Rebecca Lobo, who helped shape the WNBA into what it is today.
