On the Wubble: WNBA Draftees Are Getting a Second Chance
Jaylyn Agnew was social distancing in Omaha, spending time lakeside and improving her comfort level with ball screens, when in June she received a couple of calls she hoped would come.
The Mystics drafted Agnew, the 2020 Big East Player of the Year, in April, but WNBA training camp had been canceled, just like her final NCAA postseason tournament. Then, Washington waived Agnew as the team finalized its 2020 roster. So, she shifted her focus to securing a contract to play overseas in Russia starting in September while refining her skills in case another WNBA opportunity came up.
