Dallas Wings take Texas star Charli Collier with No. 1 pick in 2021 WNBA draft

The Dallas Wings drafted Texas post player Charli Collier with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 WNBA draft on Thursday.

Collier is the first Longhorns player to be the WNBA's top pick and the second from the Big 12, following Baylor center Brittney Griner in 2013.

For the second season in row, the three-round draft is virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
