WNBA draft: Michigan women's basketball star Naz Hillmon goes to Atlanta Dream in Round 2

Naz Hillmon, the most decorated player in Michigan women's basketball program history, is now a professional.

Hillmon was drafted No. 15 overall by the Atlanta Dream in the 2022 WNBA draft Monday night — the highest pick in program history — the crowning achievement following one of the most dominant seasons by any Michigan basketball player, male or female.

Hillmon, a four-year star for the Wolverines, became the first player in program history to earn All-America honors, doing so in 2021 and 2022.

She was named to the All-Big Ten first team in each of her four seasons — the only player to do so in program history — and is also the only player, man or woman, to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a Michigan career.
