Jordan Horston and Ezi Magbegor aren’t often asked to do as much for the Seattle Storm as the team’s veterans, but they’ve shown to be plenty capable of rising to the occasion when necessary.
Ezi Magbegor scored 18 points and Jordan Horston added 16 to fuel the host Seattle Storm to an 81-70 victory over the Atlanta Dream on Sunday. Magbegor and Horston each made 8 of 11 shots from the floor to help the Storm (16-8) finish their WNBA-record nine-game homestand with a 7-2 mark.
Since its inception in 1997, the WNBA has seen 28 draft picks go first overall, counting the inaugural season's Elite draft, which selected already graduated players who had already been playing professionally on other American teams or overseas. How many of these 28 players can you name?
Growth isn’t linear. We know this to be true in all walks of life. Yet, when a rookie doesn’t dominate their sport right away, the same thought isn’t applied.
Jordan Horston will hit the court when the Seattle Storm square off against the Los Angeles Sparks at 10:00 PM ET on Tuesday. Trying to find Horston’s stats?
