The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) held its annual draft on Monday. With the No. 26 overall selection, the first pick of the third round, the Seattle Storm selected Kansas State combo guard Serena Sundell. She is the brother of Seattle Seahawksinterior offensive lineman Jalen Sundell.
Sundell was the Storm's first selection. The Seattle-based professional women's basketball team did not own selections in the first or second round as a result of previous trades. They did own two additional picks in the third round, drafting TCU's Madison Conner and Michigan's Jordan Hobbs.
Jalen Sundell joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent last year. He ended up making the 53-man roster, earning a role as a reserve interior offensive lineman. The Seahawks see developmental potential for Sundell as he prepares for his sophomore campaign in 2025.
"He can play several different positions," general manager John Schneider said about Sundell during the annual league ownership meetings. "The staff really likes him. He’s smart, tough, reliable. That’s going to be interesting. Those two guys, that’s going to be pretty interesting there, but center’s going to be hard (to find an upgrade in the draft)."
Sundell is apparently scheduled to compete for a starting gig. He'll have the nearby support of his sister who will be embarking on her professional basketball career with the Seattle Storm. Congratulations to the Sundell's!
