Jackie Young will head to Vegas for her first season. With the first overall pick in the WNBA draft, the Las Vegas Aces selected the junior out of Notre Dame. She will now join fellow Notre Dame alum Kayla McBride out in Las Vegas.
She will fit in well out there because she can be a depth addition to Kelsey Plum at the point while also adding some help on the defensive end. Being the number one overall pick, Young is bound to have a heavy load from the beginning with the Aces. It will be interesting to see where she fits in on the court, but there is no doubt that Young fits in well for Bill Laimbeer and his Las Vegas squad.
