What an honor for her to be selected as 9th overall!

Is this the highest draft pick ever for BAMA's women B-Ballers?

 

[BamaNation]

Aaliyah Nye was the #13 pick (1st pick in Rd 2)
Zaay Green was the #32 pick (7th pick in Rd 3)

Given the WNBA hasn't been the greatest place until last 15-20 years (most women played overseas leagues), I'm not sure if we've had higher picks.

The fact we had 3 players drafted is awesome and hopefully allows us to start getting players who previously overlooked us. SAB deserves a LOT of credit over the past 3 years for "bringing it" and elevating the level of play and dedication.

Zaay Green got drafted by the Mystics in the third round, which means that Bama had three of the first 32 picks in the WNBA draft. Fantastic stuff for UA women's basketball, and a huge shout out to Coach Curry for what she's meant for the program!

Another feather in Coach Curry's cap- Now getting some top transfers and future remains bright!! Reminding me of hopefully the Rick Moody days in the 1990s!
