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.’”
