There aren’t many pipelines between college and professional teams, but try telling that to the New York Liberty. With the 12th and 13th picks, the organization selected Louisville basketball seniors Jazmine Jones and Kylee Shook, respectively. The two will join former Cardinal star Asia Durr up in the Big Apple and 2020 top-overall pick Oregon star Sabrina Ionescu.
Jones finished second on the team in scoring with 14.1 PPG on 53.9 percent shooting, trailing only Dana Evans. She also averaged 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.5 steals per contest. Known for her extreme toughness and contagious personality, she was an integral part of the Louisville program over a span of four years that saw two Elite Eight and one Final Four appearance.
