Once again, the Connecticut Sun head into a WNBA Draft without a first-round pick and will wait until late in the second round of Thursday's draft to make their first selection.
The Sun do have back-to-back picks in the second round (20th and 21st overall), meaning they won't have to sweat choosing between two players.
“You would think back-to-back picks is a little bit of relief,” Connecticut head coach and general manager Curt Miller said with a grin during a Zoom call Monday. “You can take a deep breath and go, ‘Hey, we can’t go wrong.’
“You know the way I’m wired. ... We’re going to get on the clock and I’m going to have three minutes (to pick), and I’m going to look at my staff going, ‘We’ve got two picks and I like three players.’”
