Rolle, who became the first player from the Bahamas to be taken in a WNBA draft, averaged 12.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game as a senior. I really just want to be able to finish school and get my degree first, Rolle told tribune242.com. I will go to Europe in October to play for about six months before I come back and play in the WNBA. The Lynx will likely now sign a post player to add to their training camp roster. Courtesy of: startribune.com
