ESPN’s mock draft predicts the Los Angeles Sparks will draft Brink 2nd overall. This 6-foot-4 powerhouse could have stayed another year thanks to the NCAA’s COVID-19 eligibility extension, but she’s bringing the heat to the professional league.

The Curry family has always supported the 22-year-old Brink. A projected top-3 pick, Brink’s dominance on the court extends beyond statistics. Her support system, including her godbrother and Warriors’ superstar Stephen Curry, has consistently been a source of encouragement. Earlier this year, Brink led her team to victory at the FIBA 3×3 World Cup, receiving praises from Curry’s wife, Ayesha Curry.
