Louisville’s Myisha Hines-Allen was selected by the Washington Mystics with the 19th overall pick of the 2018 WNBA Draft Thursday night in New York. She becomes the eighth U of L player to be taken in the WNBA Draft and the highest pick since Shoni Schimmel was selected eighth in 2014.
The 2016 ACC Player of the Year, Hines-Allen left Louisville with 2,028 career points and 1,151 career rebounds. Only Angel McCoughtry, who was drafted No. 1 overall by the Atlanta Dream in the 2009 WNBA Draft, also finished her Cardinal career with more than 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.
