ESPN has her going #5 to Dallas: [B]5. [URL='https://www.espn.com/wnba/team/_/name/dal/dallas-wings']Dallas Wings[/URL]: Evina Westbrook*, PG, [URL='https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/team/_/id/41/uconn-huskies']UConn[/URL][/B] Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images We don't know yet if Westbrook will declare for the WNBA draft, but she's eligible as a redshirt junior. After two seasons at Tennessee, she sat out a year, and is in her first season playing for UConn. She is a 6-foot point guard with good size, something that might be an asset for the Wings, and has shown a lot of leadership and maturity. In UConn's first two NCAA tournament victories -- in which they cruised over High Point and Syracuse -- she had a combined 14 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. Westbrook can make a big impact on a game without big stats. [/QUOTE]
