UConn women’s basketball’s three seniors — Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Evina Westbrook and Christyn Williams — all renounced their final year of college eligibility and entered their names in the 2022 WNBA Draft, the league announced on Monday.
While there’s little surprise in the decision, this announcement makes it official. All three players spent four seasons in college but had an extra year due to the COVID-impacted 2020-21 campaign.
Nelson-Ododa, Westbrook and Williams will likely all be drafted, but when and where is still up for debate. ESPN’s latest mock draft has Williams as the last pick in the first round with Westbrook going with the first pick in the second round and Nelson-Ododa following two picks later, while CBS Sports has Westbrook going ninth and Williams going 11th.
