Rhyne Howard selected 2nd among reserves in 2022 WNBA All-Star Draft

Rhyne Howard is only a 22-year-old rookie, but she’s already earned the respect of the game’s greatest players.

Howard, who is set to particpate in the upcoming 2022 WNBA All-Star Game, was drafted second overall among reserves during Saturday’s roster selection show. The Atlanta Dream guard will join Team Wilson for the All-Star contest, which is scheduled for Sunday, July 10 in Chicago. Howard was drafted eighth overall from a pool of the league’s 18 best players this season.

Team Wilson is led by Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson, who was among the top-two All-Star fan vote recipients and thus was named a captain for one of the teams.
