The Las Vegas Aces selected Aaliyah Nye from Alabama women's basketball as the No. 13 pick in the recent WNBA draft. Nye, known for her strong 3-point shooting at 45.5%, also showcased defensive skills with 52 steals in the 2023-24 season.
Originally from Huntsville, Alabama, Nye transferred to the Crimson Tide after starting her career at Illinois. Despite excelling in 3-point shooting, she struggled with two-point shots, highlighting an area for potential growth in her game. Nye's ability to contribute as a 3-point shooter is expected to be an early asset for the Aces, with room for development in other areas of her game.
