It’s only the third time Ohio State has had two players selected in the same WNBA draft. It’s the first time since 2018, when the Fever drafted both Kelsey Mitchell and Stephanie Mavunga.Taylor will join Mitchell on the roster of the Fever, who are now responsible for four of Ohio State’s last five WNBA draft selections. She’ll join a backcourt that will also include former Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark, who the Fever selected with the draft’s No. 1 overall pick.
Taylor was a double-digit scorer in each of her final four collegiate seasons, averaging 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and two steals per game for her collegiate career as a whole. She earned ACC Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-ACC honors in her second season at Duke and was a second-team All-Big Ten honoree in her lone season as a Buckeye.
“For me, it was kind of coming into a system where there is a lot of experience. And just finding my own way to impact the program, the people around me, and then just finding my place through impacting the game. And so I think for that purpose solely, I'm so happy that I came to Ohio State because I get that prior experience before going into the draft,” Taylor said last week.
“Obviously, she's got a reputation as an incredible defender and well-deserved and well-earned. So people are really excited about what she can do at that end of the floor,” McGuff said last week. “The feedback heading into the season was just a little more consistent offensive production, and I think, as the season got into January and February, you started to see that from her, so I think she really helped herself.
