The 2017 WNBA Draft had no surprises about who would be selected first. As expected, University of Washington Huskies star guard Kelsey Plum heard her name called first in the draft. The surprise came at the team calling her name.
The San Antonio Stars have two solid guards in the form of 5-foot-7 Moriah Jefferson and 5-foot-11 Kayla McBride. Kelsey Plum is a 5-foot-8 rookie guard.
And there is the rub.
McBride averages 17.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists per game. Jefferson averages 13.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. So far, they have become two starters the San Antonio Stars are happy with.
