Five South Carolina Gamecocks were selected in the 2023 WNBA Draft Monday night. With three first-round picks – No. 1 Aliyah Boston (Indiana Fever), No. 8 Laeticia Amihere(Atlanta Dream) and No. 10 Zia Cooke (Los Angeles Sparks), this draft matches the 2017 edition for the most Gamecocks taken in the first round. Just seven college programs have had at least three first-round picks in the same draft. Brea Beal was selected 24th overall by the Minnesota Lynx, and Victaria Saxton was the 25th overall pick by the Indiana Fever. The five overall picks are the most in Gamecock history.
