NEW YORK -- Notre Dame guard Jackie Young was selected No. 1 overall by the Las Vegas Aces in Wednesday's WNBA draft.
The junior, who decided to skip her senior season, was able to declare early because she turns 22 in the same year as the draft. She's the second Irish player to be drafted first after entering early joining Jewell Loyd, who had the honor in 2015.
Asia Durr went second to the New York Liberty. The Louisville guard, who was a two-time AP All-American, was the No. 2 scorer in school history.
The Indiana Fever then took Mississippi State center Teaira McCowan at No.
