NEW YORK – NC State senior Gillian Goring will join top women’s basketball prospects from around the world for the WNBA’s Pre-Draft Camp at Cleveland State University on March 30-31 in Cleveland, Ohio.
The camp offers coaches and general managers from all 13 WNBA teams an opportunity to evaluate the top young players in advance of the 2007 WNBA Draft presented by adidas set to take place in Cleveland on April 4. The prospects will showcase their skills and compete against one another in drills, half court scenarios and full court scrimmages during three on-court sessions.
Goring averaged 10.1 points and 6.3 rebounds this season in helping lead NC State (25-9) to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Goring was named All-Atlantic Coast Conference honorable mention after averaging 12.5 points and 7.4 rebounds in ACC play, leading the Pack to a 10-4 conference record.
The 6-7 center continued her solid play late in the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds in a overtime victory over Baylor in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. She also had 10 points and five boards against No. 1 seed Connecticut in the Fresno Regional Semifinal game.
Goring had eight double-doubles on the year and scored in double figures in 13 of the last 18 games of the season.
The 2007 WNBA Draft presented by adidas will begin at 1 p.m. ET at the Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland. ESPN2 will provide exclusive first round coverage of the Draft with continued coverage of the second and third rounds on ESPNU and NBA TV. In addition, WNBA.com will cover all three rounds, providing complete analysis and comprehensive information on all 13 teams’ selections.
