Former Ole Miss Women’s Basketball guard Marquesha Davis was selected in the first round of the WNBA draft by the New York Liberty on Monday, April 15.
She joins star guard Sabrina Ionescu, four-time NCAA national champion and WNBA MVP forward Breanna Stewart and 6-foot-11 center Han Xu. Davis, who did nothing but increase her draft stock in her final year with Ole Miss, projects to be a good rotation piece for the Liberty, as she is an elite defender and can also put the ball in the hoop.
Davis is the second Ole Miss player in three years to be selected in the first round of the WNBA Draft, joining former Lady Rebel Shakira Austin, who was picked third overall in 2022.
