Chiquita Evans was selected by Warriors Gaming in the fourth round of the NBA 2K League draft on Tuesday, becoming the first woman drafted into the league.
"It changes everything," she said, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com). "It means everything to me."
The league, now in its second season, didn't have any female players in year one. This season, two women qualified to be drafted through the league's combine—Evans and Brianna Novin—though only Evans was selected. Novin is still eligible to be added by a team as a free agent.
Per the AP's report, the league discovered that male players often didn't pass to their female counterparts, skewing the data when evaluating top women in the game.
