LSU’s LaDazhia Williams and Alexis Morris are now in the WNBA. Here’s the draft recap.

Forward LaDazhia Williams and point guard Alexis Morris capped LSU’s national championship season with their selections in the WNBA draft on Monday.

Williams was chosen with the fifth pick in the second round by the Indiana Fever on Monday, No. 17 overall. Morris went five picks later, No. 22 overall, to the Connecticut Sun, that team’s first choice.

Morris attended the draft with her parents and LSU coach Kim Mulkey, then watched her teammate go five spots ahead of her. Mulkey gave her a whisper of encouragement before her selection.

“She just said to stay patient,” Morris told ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. “ ‘You’re a champion and you’re going to continue to be a champion.’ That’s true.”

Morris, a 5-foot-6 point guard, was the team’s second-leading scorer with 15.4 points and 4.1 assists but saved some of her best work for LSU’s NCAA tournament run.

In six tournament games, Morris averaged 16.8 points, four assists and two steals. She helped the Tigers seal their 102-85 title-game victory against Iowa with 21 points and nine assists while guarding Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, the national player of the year.

Morris played two seasons at LSU, helping the Tigers to a 60-8 overall record in its first two seasons under Kim Mulkey. LSU was Morris’ fourth college stop, having been originally signed by Mulkey at Baylor and moving on to Rutgers and Texas A&M before reuniting with Mulkey.

Asked on ESPN what kept her going, Morris responded: “Tenacity. I’m relentless. “My will to never give up on myself. (My family) keep me motivated, in high spirits. I’ve been on a college tour, and they are the ones that supported me. A lot of people have jumped on the bandwagon since I turned my journey around. But it’s not the ones who jump on the bandwagon; it’s the ones who are there for you behind those closed doors.”

Williams, a 6-4 forward who transferred to LSU from Missouri, averaged 9.9 points and 6.0 rebounds. She had a career-high 24 points against Utah in the Sweet 16 and 20 points in the Tigers’ victory against Iowa, adding five rebounds and three steals.
