Kentucky women’s basketball alum Rhyne Howard just closed out her second year in the WNBA. Howard was the first overall pick in the 2022 draft by the Atlanta Dream (19-21), where she averaged 16.2 points per game across 34 contests as a rookie. Her numbers jumped across the board in year two though, up to 17.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per contest.

Before getting into Howard’s career in the WNBA, we should go back in time and take a look at the time spent at Kentucky.

Howard’s History at Kentucky

The Tennessee native began her time at Kentucky in 2018, where she quickly became the unanimous SEC Freshman of the Year.
