Gabby Williams makes history by being fourth pick in WNBA draft

Chris Murray, Jim Krajewski and Duke Ritenhouse talk about the Reno Bighorns leaving town, the Nevada baseball team and Gabby Williams in the WNBA draft.

Gabby Williams made history Thursday night.

The Reed High alum became the first Northern Nevada born and raised product to be drafted into the WNBA. Williams, who starred at Connecticut the last four seasons, was the fourth pick in the draft by the Chicago Sky.

The 21-year-old was one of 10 players invited to the draft, which was held at Nike's New York headquarters. She will join a Sky team that finished ninth in the 12-team league last season with a 12-22 record.
