Why Harvard's Harmoni Turner brings fun, flair to WNBA draft

Coming off a record-setting season at Harvard, Harmoni Turner believes she can dazzle in the WNBA.

Did you notice her joy? Once, after Turner dropped 41 points against Boston College, a TV reporter asked when she knew she was in a groove. "When I woke up," she said, staring at the camera. Another game, one of her teammates left a high-five-seeking Turner hanging. Totally not embarrassed, she slapped her own outstretched hand. Even on the biggest stage of her career, with her team down five at the half in the first round of the NCAA tournament, Turner ran out of the locker room, waved at the crowd and said, "Let's have fun!"​

Fair warning, there's some deep sad stuff in this article, however I appreciate her honesty and openness, and finding joy.

Watched Turner play a couple of times and love her energy! Had her on my radar as she was a 5-star coming out of high school. I think she could've been drafted a lot higher! She has the potential to make a roster tbh.
