‘Pretty surreal:’ Canada’s Keishana Washington looking forward to WNBA opportunity
to begin a new chapter in her basketball career. Washington, who recently closed out her NCAA career at Drexel University, signed a training camp deal with the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx on April 14.“It’s pretty surreal,” Washington told The Canadian Press. “I mean , I was packing my stuff, getting ready to go. And I didn’t really feel it yet.
The five-foot-seven guard concluded her career with 2,363 points to be the all-time leading Canadian scorer in NCAA history, second all-time on Drexel’s scoring list and fourth all-time on the CAA career scoring list. Washington’s standout effort for the Drexel Dragons sparked Minnesota’s interest early on in the process.
“When you have that kind of thirst to just do whatever it takes to make your team win, those are the kind of people that we really like to have in camp, and obviously she checked all those boxes.” “This is a different level of play, so the expectations are going to be different, the roles are going to be different. So really just taking in everything they’re saying and learning as much as I can to perform.
