Maryland’s Brionna Jones and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough are about to find WNBA homes

Brionna Jones and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough spent the last four years together at Maryland, but the two are about to move on to the professional ranks.

The WNBA Draft is Thursday, and neither player is expected to wait long to hear their name called. In the three mock drafts featured on the WNBA’s website, Jones is not projected to last beyond the third overall pick. Walker-Kimbrough is slated second in Bleacher Report’s mock draft, while Excelle Sports has her at No. 6 and Newsday has her at No. 7.

It’s possible that the two end up together, as the Dallas Wings have the third, fourth and 10th picks, while the Chicago Sky have No. 2 and No. 9. The San Antonio Stars have the first and fifth selections, but all three of these mock drafts have Washington’s Kelsey Plum going No. 1 overall.

Both players will attend the draft, which starts at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
