Maya Moore is completing her journey from player of the year in college to top pick in the WNBA, The Associated Press reports. Her chances of landing with the Connecticut Sun are between slim and none.
The University of Connecticut basketball star is expected to be the first player selected Monday in the WNBA Draft, which gets underway at 3 p.m. at ESPN headquarters in Bristol.
The Minnesota Lynx have the first pick in the draft and have already indicated they will take Moore.
Moore finished her career at Connecticut with two national championships, and four appearances in the Final Four. She was a four-time All-American and two-time national player of the year.
The Connecticut Sun don’t pick until the second round. They gave up the fourth overall choice in a trade with Minnesota during last year’s draft for the rights to forward Kelsey Griffin.
