Alexis Morris is in the Big Apple on Monday as she prepares to hear her name called in the 2023 WNBA draft.
Morris was one of 15 players invited to attend the event after helping lead LSU to its first women’s basketball national championship as a fifth-year senior. A transfer who came to Baton Rouge by way of Baylor, Rutgers and Texas A&M, Morris is expected to be a first or early second-round selection in Monday night’s event.
The WNBA draft features three rounds and 36 total selections with 12 picks per round.
Morris raised her profile considerably while averaging 16.8 points per game in the NCAA tournament en route to a title. She’s one of three draft-eligible players for the Tigers alongside [autotag]LaDazhia Williams[/autotag] and [autotag]Jasmine Carson[/autotag].
