Katie Lou Samuelson Selected No. 4 Overall by Chicago Sky in WNBA Draft

With the fourth pick in the WNBA Draft, the Chicago Sky selected UConn wing Katie Lou Samuelson.

Samuelson will join up with former teammate Gabby Williams and former Husky Stefanie Dolson on the Sky. Last season, Chicago finished 10th in the WNBA with a 13-21 record.

Dolson is certainly excited about Samuelson joining the team.

Samuelson came to UConn as strictly a sharpshooter from three before developing a strong all-around game. Over her four seasons, her rebound and assist numbers rose every year. At 6-foot-3, she presents a matchup problem on the outside as someone too big for guards to defend but too quick for bigs.
