WNBA draft: Michigan State star Nia Clouden drafted to Connecticut Sun in Round 1

Michigan State women's basketball star Nia Clouden broke records during her time in East Lansing.

Now, she'll she what she can do at the highest level of the sport. Clouden, a four-year star for the Spartans, was drafted No. 12 overall in Monday night's WNBA draft to the Connecticut Sun.

Clouden was one of just 12 athletes invited to New York City to attend the draft in person as her stock continued to rise from under-the-radar as a freshman, to a tantalizing next-level prospect.

She finished her Michigan State career No. 2 all-time in career points (1,882) and etched her name into the record books when she scored a program-record 50 points against Florida Gulf Coast in December.
