Congrats , do third round picks typically make rosters?

They do not. Remember, Abby Meyers was a first round pick and didn't even make a roster.
That said, there's always a chance.

Congrats to the players!
Many have argued that the lack of teams is hurting the WNBA's chances for growth. Players get drafted and their college fans are excited. But there's just not enough spots on the active roster so players get cut and is not able to bring in new potential fans.
Tough cycle...

Maybe the attention the women's game received this year in the NCAA tournament will galvanize interest in the WNBA but I am not so sure. Up to this year, the WNBA exists because the NBA subsidizes it. If people cared and bought tickets and watched on TV, there would be more franchises and higher salaries.

I plead guilty. I've taken my daughters to countless women's college basketball games (we are walking distance of a D-I school).
But I have yet to take them to a WNBA game even though there is a franchise in our city.
Will try to change that.
