Jacy Sheldon

Sheldon, the No. 5 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, spent five seasons at Ohio State and averaged 17.7 points, 3.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 33.6 minutes per game as a senior. The sharpshooter finished with a career 35.0 percent mark from deep on 4.1 attempts per game and averaged 1.9 steals per night as a Buckeye, including 3.5 swipes in 2022-23 -- she played in only 13 games that season. Sheldon projects to be a solid three-and-D option as a pro, but it's unclear how big her role will be as a rookie. Dallas has a trio of stars in Arike Ogunbowale, Natasha Howard and Satou Sabally, leaving Sheldon with a crowded path to playing time. Despite competition in the backcourt, Sheldon could carve out a sizable reserve role if her defense translates to the WNBA right away.
