One thing about former South Carolina guard and current Indiana Fever draftee Destanni Henderson is that nobody is going to outwork her. Nobody.
She’s going to get her practice reps in. She’s going to hit the gym. She’s going to do whatever it takes to put herself in the best position to succeed. Henderson has always been that way during her rise to stardom.
If you need proof of that, look no further than where she is right now.
The WNBA draft was just on Monday. Henderson was picked by the Indiana Fever in the second round of the draft. She’s already in Indiana getting her bearings straight.
Of course, South Carolina just won its second National Championship last week in Women’s Basketball. Henderson absolutely starred in the championship game, too. They held their championship parade on Wednesday but Henderson couldn’t make it because she was already in Indiana putting in work.
Knowing what she was doing and where she was at, South Carolina Head Coach Dawn Staley wore a pair of shorts from her clothing line to make sure she was there in spirit.
It was an extremely cool gesture from a head coach that is extremely loved by her players. You can certainly see why here.
PG @dh3nny's already in Indianapolis after being drafted by the @IndianaFever and couldn't make the championship parade, so @dawnstaley's sporting a pair of her shorts.
“GO GET YOUR DREAM, HENNY!" – Dawn Staley 🥺♥️

“I miss Henny, too. Henny’s already in Indy, but I got her shorts on…Henny, I got your shorts on today…Go get your dream, Henny.”
What an extremely thoughtful gesture from Staley. She’s making sure Henderson is still there in spirit and that’s awesome.
Henderson certainly appreciated it herself.
Always showing love, thank you! @dawnstaley ❤️🤞🏾 https://t.co/KbIGg8D3P1
