What Shyanne Sellers brings to the WNBA
Sellers was formally invited to the 2025 WNBA Draft and was projected to be a top-five pick by many reliable news outlets. However, the guard fell out of the first round and was ultimately selected No. 17 overall by the Golden State Valkyries.
Sellers spent the entirety of her college career at Maryland, serving as a three-year starter. As a senior, she led the squad in assists, with 4.1 per game, and put up 14.4 points per game. Sellers also became the first player in program history to record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists.
The guard is a strong shooter, averaging 45.2%, including 40.8% from beyond the arc. She emerged as a leader for the Terrapins and helped guide her team on a March Madness run to the Sweet 16.
The Valkyries are gaining an athletic, versatile guard in Sellers. She excels at setting up shots for both herself and others and has strong passing abilities.
Sellers can play guard or wing confidently and has defensive depth. Her extensive skill set will be a welcome addition to a Valkyries squad looking to build from the ground up.
