Former Alabama women’s basketball forward Jasmine Walker is the No. 7 overall pick in the 2021 WNBA draft to the Los Angeles Sparks.
Walker was a projected first-round pick, so this comes as no surprise.
While at Alabama, Walker broke the record for the most points scored in a single game with 41 and recorded 21 double-doubles.
In 2020, the Sparks made the playoffs as a No. 3 seed, but were unable to win it all. As a franchise, the team holds claim to three WNBA championships, with the most recent one being in 2016.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to publish updates on Jasmine Walker as she begins her professional career with the Los Angeles Sparks.
