CORVALLIS - In recent years the Oregon State Women's Basketball program has had found great success in producing top-level talent, as six former Beavers have been selected in the last six WNBA drafts. No Pac-12 team is responsible for more selections.
Oregon State is tied with UCLA for most in the conference over that stretch, a period in which 29 players have been drafted from the Pac-12. Only four teams in the nation have had more players selected over that span.
When asked why Oregon State has found great success in developing WNBA-caliber players, former Beaver Sydney Wiese says it comes down to the way head coach Scott Rueck is able to develop his players' basketball IQ.
