Shyanne Sellers was not picked in the first round of the WNBA draft
Shyanne Sellers was one of the few players to earn an invite from the WNBA for the draft on Monday. However, despite being projected as a top 5 pick by multiple notable outlets, the guard remained undrafted when the first 12 names were called. Instead, Sellers was picked 17th overall by the expansion franchise, the Golden State Valkyries.
On the orange carpet, Sellers was misidentified as LSU Tigers' Aneesah Morrow by one of the hosts, Hannah O'Flynn. While Rickea Jackson helped correct her, she herself referred to her by "Saniya."
Due to the presence of plenty of experienced guards on the team, Shyanne Sellers might not become Golden State's immediate starter. However, in case she remains healthy throughout her rookie season, she can gradually solidify a bigger role for the franchise.
The guard has a unique court-vision and passing ability but her most needed skill for the Valkyries would be her 3-point shooting.
