Sophie Cunningham Drafted by the Phoenix Mercury
Sophie Cunningham is a legend at Missouri and now she’s about to embark on her WNBA playing career after being drafted with the 13th pick in the WNBA draft, going to the Phoenix Mercury.
Pre-draft mocks had Sophie in this range, going as high as 10 to as low as 15, and most thought the fit with Phoenix would be a good one. In the Mercury, Sophie will join a roster stocked with three elite stars in the league with Diana Taurasi, Brittany Griner, and DeWanna Bonner. The one thing needed for the Mercury to take the next step toward a championship has been some floor spacing and Sophie brings that to the roster immediately.
