MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Lanay Montgomery, West Virginia’s career leader in shooting percentage and a two-time Big 12 all-defensive selection, became a third-round pick of the Seattle Storm in Thursday night’s WNBA draft, chosen 30th overall.
“It is truly an honor to have my name called at the WNBA Draft. I started playing basketball my freshman of year of high school; and now to be drafted is an amazing feeling,” Montgomery said. “It shows the hard work and dedication I’ve put into this game.”
Montgomery’s selection gave the Mountaineers draft picks in back-to-back years for the first time and three selections in the last four seasons.
