South Carolina four-year standout Aliyah Boston was selected by the Indiana Fever with the No. 1 pick in Monday’s WNBA draft. Boston was widely expected to go No. 1, and Diamond Miller, whose Terps lost in the Elite Eight, was expected to go No. 2.
As expected, Maryland guard Diamond Miller went No. 2 to Minnesota. Lynx Coach and President Cheryl Reeve was a regular in College Park this season to watch one of the most versatile players in the nation. The 6-3 Miller is long with strong dribbling skills and has the ability to attack and finish around the rim.“Number two, wow, that’s very impressive,” Miller said. “I don’t give myself a lot of credit, but I’m proud of myself right now.”Miller averaged a career-high 19.7 points, 6.
“For sure, a surprise. … It happened so fast,” Soares said. “I’m just ready to get to Dallas and start getting to work.” The Mystics selected Elena Tsineke in the second round with the No. 20 pick and Txell Alarcón with the No. 32 pick. Tsineke, a 5-7 guard out of South Florida, was named co-player of the year in the American Athletic Conference after averaging 17.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists while shooting 38.3 percent from behind the arc.
