HARTFORD, Conn. — Christyn Williams had it in mind’s eye. The night of the 2022 WNBA draft would be her night in the big city, surrounded by glamour and glitz. When she came to UConn as the national player of the year, who would have imagined it any other way?
“Well, what I dreamed of growing up was actually being in New York at the draft,” Williams said. “But that’s part of life, very unfortunate.”
Instead, Williams, eight days after UConn’s loss to South Carolina, was back home in Little Rock, Ark., surrounded by 60 relatives, all five brothers and sisters, and friends in the village that helped prepare her for the ups and downs of life.
