Washington Huskies guard Kelsey Plum was selected at first overall by the San Antonio Stars in the 2017 WNBA Draft on Thursday night.
Plum, the all-time women's college basketball leading scorer and a multi-awarded guard, will be boosting the Stars backcourt which already includes Moriah Jefferson, the second overall pick last year, and Kayla McBride.

South Carolina Gamecocks big Alaina Coates was taken by the Chicago Sky at second overall, adding depth to their frontcourt. The pick was originally owned by the Washington Mystics but was dealt to the Sky following the Elena Delle Donne blockbuster deal.

The Dallas Wings selected Evelyn Akhator (Kentucky) and Allisha Gray (South Carolina) at third and fourth overall while the Stars picked Nia Coffey (Southwestern) to round out the top five.
With three picks in the first round, the Wings surely loaded up on the backcourt positions via draft, especially following the departures of Riquna Williams and Odyssey Sims over the last two years.
