When Megan Walker made the shocking decision to declare early for the WNBA Draft, the New York Liberty didn’t waste much time reaching out. The Liberty were the second team to contact the junior, and it took even less time for the two sides to connect with each other.
“We really had a great conversation. We bonded over the phone,” Walker said. “It was kind of like a family type of conversation. We both knew what I brought to the Liberty and they thought I would fit right in”
However, New York needed to do some work in order to get in a position where it would have the chance to get Walker.
