NEW YORK — In the latter part of the WNBA Draft, a strong backcourt addition was made with the selection of West Virginia’s JJ Quinerly at No. 27 overall. Quinerly, a standout in the Big 12, made her mark with a relentless style of play, blending scoring ability with a defensive mindset that coaches love.
Throughout her collegiate career, she demonstrated not only consistency on both ends of the floor but also a high basketball IQ that often set her apart. Known for her ability to create her own shot and pressure opposing guards, Quinerly’s game is built for the next level. Her transition to the pros is one to watch closely, as she brings grit, energy, and a competitive fire that fits seamlessly into the culture being built.
As the team looks to strengthen its depth and identity, Quinerly could prove to be one of the steals of the draft.
