Kansas State guard Serena Sundell was selected by the Seattle Storm with the 23rd overall pick in the third round of the 2025 WNBA Draft. Sundell, a program history ninth draft pick, is set to become the 12th player from K-State to join the league and the first since Breanna Lewis in 2018. The Maryville native, known for her scoring and playmaking abilities, had a successful collegiate career with consistent performances and notable achievements, including setting the program record for career assists.
Sundell's selection by the Storm provides her with an opportunity for immediate playing time, as the team seeks additional guard support. Despite expectations of being a potential first-round pick, she was the last player from the draft attendees to be chosen, highlighting the unpredictability of the selection process. Sundell's career at K-State, marked by All-Big 12 Honorable Mentions and conference recognitions, culminated in her WNBA draft selection, where she aims to continue her impactful contributions on the court.
