SHY TO ATL: Shyanne Sellers claimed by Atlanta Dream off of waivers

Shyanne Sellers has been claimed by the Dream off of waivers.

The move was made official via the WNBA’s transactions page, and then shortly announced on the Dream’s socials:

The Maryland-standout guard, who averaged 14.4 points per game, was drafted this year by the Valkyries in the second-round as the No. 17 pick. She was then waived by the Valkyries, a move that stunned fans as Sellers had not yet played in a preseason game.

Just a few days ago on May 3, head coach Natalie Nakase said via ESPN’s Kendra Andrews that “she picked up everything we asked her to, did everything that we asked. It’s just that I have to choose the best 12 that are going to fit. Doesn’t mean it’s the most talented, it means it’s the best 12.”

With limited roster spots across the W, many were hoping to see another team pick up Sellers, who has become a favorite for her elite game and Tik Tok, where she and her fiancé, Seton Hall forward Faith Masonius, who also played at Maryland, give a glimpse at their life and journey both on and off the court.

Now, Sellers will head to ATL. Best believed we’ll be tuned in for every bucket and vlog, too.
