HOW SHE FITS
Entering her senior season on the Wooden and Naismith pre-season watch list, Stanford's Nnemkad Ogwumike has been considered the sure-bet first overall pick in this upcoming draft for the past two seasons. Despite the expectations, Ogwumike has not dissappointed, having one of the all-time great seasons in Stanford history to cap off a collegiate career that will see her re-write her school's record books. Through February 12, Ogwumike is has recorded five double-doubles, seven 20-plus point games, three 30-plus points games and career best 42 poitns against sixth-ranked Tennessee in December.

Ogwumike is averaging a monster double-double this season at 22.0 points and 10.9 rebounds (through 21 games) while shooting 53.5 percent from the field which despite being outstanding, is actually signiciantly below her 60.1 percent shooting through her first three collegiate years. Her verstality on the wings and the post would make her a fit on any time in the WNBA next season.
