Ohio State has two selections in the WNBA draft for the first time in six years.
Celeste Taylor became the second Buckeye selected in this year’s draft, joining No. 5 overall pick Jacy Sheldon, when the Indiana Fever drafted Taylor with the No. 15 overall pick in the second round.
It’s only the third time Ohio State has had two players selected in the same WNBA draft. It’s the first time since 2018, when the Fever drafted both Kelsey Mitchell and Stephanie Mavunga.
