How Raleigh's Azura Stevens changed the WNBA draft with her early entry | News & Observer

Azurá Stevens didn’t need any feedback from the WNBA this spring.

“The biggest thing was my heart just led me to it,” said Stevens, who's from Raleigh, played at Cary High and began her college career at Duke in 2014. “This has been a long-term goal and dream of mine.”

As it turns out, the WNBA is more than ready to welcome the versatile, 6-6 Stevens.
