Shyanne Sellers, a standout player for the Maryland Terrapins, made history by being the first in the program to achieve over 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists during her college career. The Golden State Valkyries selected Sellers as the No. 17 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, alongside their first pick, forward JustÄ— JocytÄ— from Lithuania.

Standing at 6-foot-2, Sellers demonstrated her versatility as a combo guard, excelling in scoring, defense, and playmaking. Despite some setbacks due to a knee injury in her senior season, she proved her worth by consistently delivering impactful performances, leading Maryland to the Sweet 16. Sellers' ability to create scoring opportunities and serve as a team leader bodes well for her transition to the WNBA, although she may need to work on reducing telegraphed passes to minimize turnovers as she adjusts to the pro level.
