Things are a little different in the WNBA than the good ‘ole fashioned NBA. Ohio State guard, Taylor Mikesell, was selected by the Indiana Fever as the first pick in the second round (No. 13 overall) of the 2023 WNBA draft. That would be more than good enough for an NBA team to invest in you and let things play out with development and plenty of opportunity.
In the WNBA though, with only 12 roster spots among 12 teams, not so much. Mikesell, unfortunately, found that out on Wednesday when she was released from the Fever just a couple of weeks after hearing her name called in the draft.
