Former Women's Basketball Standout Shaquilla Nunn Is The 25th Player Taken in 2017 WNBA Draft

Former Eagle Schaquilla Nunn Goes To San Antonio in 3rd Round of WNBA Draft
ROCK HILL, SC--Former Winthrop women's basketball player Schaquilla Nunn, a 6-3 forward from Fayetteville, GA, was drafted by the San Antonio Stars as the 25th overall pick of the 2017 WNBA Draft on Thursday night.

Nunn is the first Winthrop player to be drafted for professional basketball. She played three years for the Eagles and became the program's all-time rebounding leader with 910 and blocked shots with 279. She averaged a double-double in her 88-game Winthrop career with 11.2 points and 10.3 rebounds.  She missed her senior season with a broken foot and graduated in May of 2016.  Rather than return to Winthrop for her final year of eligibility, Nunn transferred to Tennessee for the 2016-17 season.  In her one season as a Lady Vol, Nunn played in all 32 games, including five starts, and was a key contributor off the bench.

She had her best game this past season in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Dayton as she recorded a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds. Her career scoring and rebounding highs occurred in a Winthrop uniform with 39 points against Gallaudet (Nov. 15, 2014) and 20 rebounds against Campbell (Jan. 27, 2015).

During her Winthrop career, she was voted the 2013 Big South Conference Freshman of the Year and was an All-Big South First Team selection and the Big South's Defensive Player of the Year in 2015.
