New York— With the first pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft, the San Antonio Stars selected 5-foot-8 guard Kelsey Plum from the University of Washington. The pick came as no surprise as Plum became the all-time leading scorer in men’s and women’s NCAA Division I history this year, finishing with a career 3,527 points. This past season, the left-handed Plum led the nation in scoring, averaging 31.7 points per game.
“It’s been a head spin. The last couple of weeks have been kind of crazy because of all the travel I’ve been doing. It’s a great problem to have,” said Plum.
