The Golden State Valkyries have released Shyanne Sellers, their second-round draft pick, who was expected to be a significant contributor. Drafted 17th overall, Sellers showcased impressive skills at Maryland, averaging 14.4 points and 4.1 assists, noted for her shooting ability and unique versatility. Her release raises eyebrows given the high expectations and projections surrounding her talent in the lead-up to the draft. Coach Natalie Nakase highlighted the competitiveness observed during training camp, underscoring the intensity and effort displayed by both Sellers and fellow rookie Kaitlyn Chen. Updates on the team's roster are anticipated soon.
"Sellers was drafted in the second round, 17th overall out of Maryland. The 22-year-old guard was considered a steal for the Valkyries after she was projected to be a Top 10 pick on most mock draft boards."
"They were very competitive, coach Natalie Nakase said after Thursday's practice. There was a lot of pushing, there were other people falling on the ground. And I loved it because they just got back right back up."
