New York Liberty Select Sabrina Ionescu With No. 1 Pick in WNBA Draft

The New York Liberty drafted Oregon star Sabrina Ionescu with the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft on Friday.

Ionescu was the consensus No. 1 pick heading into the draft, and she was expected to be taken by the Liberty. She enters the WNBA after one of the greatest collegiate careers in history.

During her senior season, Ionescu broke a slate of NCAA records. The Walnut Creek, Calif., native became the first player in NCAA Division I history (male or female) to record 2,000 career points, 1,000 career assists and 1,000 career rebounds.
