2023 Mystics Media Day: Elena Tsineke admires Ariel Atkins; talks draft night feelings

Many players show up to the WNBA Draft with hopes of being drafted right there in the building. Others have hope, but part of them feels players may get selected before they do. As some may know there are 144 spots in the WNBA split by 12 teams with about 12 roster spots.

In the WNBA Draft, there are 36 total picks so the odds are pretty low for some since most roster spots are secured by veterans. Well not for University of South Florida and guard and Greece native Elena Tsineke who was picked in the second of the draft with the 20th pick by the Washington Mystics.
