Jayne is No. 5 pick in WNBA draft

Jayne was selected by the San Antonio Stars with the fifth pick.

She twittered, "so excited to be going back to san antonio and really break in my cowboy boots- lets go san antonio silver stars"

Here is a report of the draft from the San Antonio Silver Stars.

Here is a report of the Left Coast selectees by Michelle Smith.

Here is an analysis of how Jayne will fit in her new team by Jake Curtis.

There were three other prospects from the Pac-10:

  • Alexis Gray-Lawson (California) was selected in the third round by the Washington Mystics.
  • Danielle Orsillo (Arizona State) was not selected.
  • Taylor Lilley (Oregon) was not selected.

This is the complete draft board.

The current status of other Cardinal alumnae in the WNBA:

  • Candice Wiggins returns to the Minnesota Lynx for her third season.
  • Brooke Smith has a training-camp contract with the Phoenix Mercury, where she played for the past two seasons.
  • Nicole Powell is with the New York Liberty for her seventh season in the WNBA. She was selected by the New York Liberty last year with the first pick of the Sacramento Monarchs dispersal draft.
