Serena

Sundell

Hobbs was one of the Big Ten’s most improved players during her final season at Michigan, averaging a career-best 13.6 points per game. At 6-foot-3, she has excellent size for a guard and is a capable perimeter shooter. She’ll look to compete for a roster spot in Seattle, but the task won’t be easy. Among the other guards on the roster is fellow draftee Serena Sundell, who was selected with the 26th overall pick.

Sundell, a two-time All-Big 12 selection during her four-year career at Kansas State, saved her best for last. Appearing in 36 games, the 6-foot-1 guard averaged 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks in 33.2 minutes. While Sundell was not much of a three-point shooter in college, she shot 50.1 percent from the field and 78.7 percent from the foul line as a senior. There’s room for growth as a perimeter shooter, but Sundell’s ability as a playmaker stands out. Sundell has excellent size for a combo guard, making for a good fit in Seattle alongside the likes of Skylar Diggins-Smith.
