The 2009 WNBA Draft was held the day after the women’s NCAA Tournament wrapped, and UCONN won yet another championship (sixth to be exact, therefore completing another undefeated season at 39-0, but really, who’s counting?).
Though Courtney Paris shed tears only a couple days earlier after failing to make it to the championship game, on Wednesday she was all smiles when she was drafted 7th by the Sacramento Monarchs.
The number one overall pick went to Angel McCoughtry, the former Louisville All-American who will now be part of the Atlanta Dream.
Here’s a recap of the Top 10 2009 WNBA Draft picks in full:
1. Atlanta Dream — Angel McCoughtry
