When the Lynx traveled to Kansas City to face Team Nigeria in a preseason game on April 27, rookie Olivia Miles was in a familiar place at T-Mobile Center. She was just wearing a different outfit.
A few weeks prior, Miles was in town leading and cheering for her TCU teammates as they reached the Big 12 tournament final. But now she was sporting a professional uniform instead of her college jersey. By the Nigeria game, Miles had only been a member of the Lynx for two weeks after she was selected No. 2 overall in the WNBA draft on April 13. In that short time, she has become a natural fit in the Minnesota roster. For coach Cheryl Reeve, it already feels like the rookie’s been on the team much longer than that.
