On a night when two Maryland women's basketball All-Americans joined the professional ranks, what seemed old became new again.
Shatori Walker-Kimbrough was taken No. 6 overall in the WNBA draft Thursday night by the Washington Mystics, a convenient first job for the 5-foot-11 guard, who could take the Metro from the Xfinity Center to her new workplace at Verizon Center.
Two picks later in New York, 6-3 center Brionna Jones (Aberdeen) went to the Connecticut Sun, which play about an hour away from Bridgeport, where the careers of Walker-Kimbrough and Jones ended unexpectedly in the Sweet 16 last month.
