NEW YORK — Kelsey Plum went first in the WNBA draft Thursday. Then, South Carolina took over.
Plum was taken No. 1 by the San Antonio Stars. The Washington guard finished her college career with an NCAA-record 3,527 points. The Stars had the worst record last season and held the top pick for the first time in franchise history.
“I’ve been dreaming about it for so long,” Plum said. “I’m really excited and grateful for the opportunity and will make the most of it.”
It’s the second straight year that the Stars have drafted a guard.
