Iowa basketball fans and even the state of Iowa loved Megan Gustafson. Not only was she arguably the best player to ever play basketball at the University of Iowa (man or woman), but she was a good person who happily accepted the role of role model for young girls everywhere.
The exciting Elite Eight run just only took her greatness to another level.
For Iowa basketball fans, it was a foregone conclusion that Gustafson would be heading to the WNBA and succeed there as well, but it’s been rough since the conclusion of WNBA career.
Gustafson, projected to go in the first round of the WNBA draft, ended up falling to the 17th overall pick in the middle of the second round to the Dallas Wings.
