The WNBA Draft unfolded earlier today, and with the 5th overall pick, the Phoenix Mercury selected DeWanna Bonner, a 6-4 guard out of Auburn, who averaged 21 points, and 8.5 rebounds per game for a 30-4 Tigers team that won their first outright regular season SEC championship in 20 years. She was also named a First Team All-American by ESPN.com.
General Manager Ann Meyers Drysdale announced that Bonner was the top player on the Mercury’s draft board, and would have been their selection even if they had the first overall pick.
ASU guard Briann January was selected one spot after Bonner, at #6 overall, by the Indiana Fever.
