MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Kseniya Malashka wasn't paying super close attention to the end of the WNBA draft last week, which the forward from Minsk, Belarus had decided to watch with her teammates.

As the third round began to come to a close, Malashka was focused on her homework, making sure it was ready for the next day. She knew that there was a shot she'd be drafted, of course, enough teams had shown interest in her that it was always a possibility.

When she heard her teammates cheering, though, she knew her dream had become a reality.
