For the second time this season, the Upshot League is sending a player to the WNBA.
The Dallas Wings announced on Friday, Aug. 14, that they had signed Christyn Williams to a developmental contract. Williams, who played her college ball at UConn, joins Indiana Fever forward Michelle Onyiah as players to make the jump from the Upshot to the WNBA.
Williams played at UConn from 2018 through 2022 and starred alongside Paige Bueckers in the backcourt for her final two seasons with the Huskies, going to the Final Four in both of those seasons. She also played one year with Azzi Fudd, and Williams will now reunite with both former Huskies teammates in Dallas.
Before going to college at UConn, the Arkansas native was the consensus National Player of the Year in high school, earning the nod from Gatorade, the WBCA, the committees that give out the Naismith and Morgan Wootten awards, and USA TODAY. Williams was also the MVP of the 2018 McDonald's All-American game.
