In just a few days, Rhyne Howard will make her official, much-anticipated WNBA debut.
The former Kentucky Wildcat superstar etched her name all over the history books in Lexington, leaving the program with over 2,000 points before hearing her name called as the No. 1 pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft. Since she was named National Freshman of the Year all the way back in the 2018-19 season, Howard has long been perceived as an eventual top selection. And while she ultimately achieved those goals, the road traveled wasn’t always an easy one.
On Tuesday morning, ESPN’s Alexa Philippou dropped a long-form feature article on Howard and her upcoming voyage into the WNBA.
