Hamson drafted by Los Angeles Sparks

Andrew Fielding-USA TODAY Sports

The Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA used one of their only two picks in the 2014 draft to secure the rights to sign 6'7" BYU basketball star Jennifer Hamson. Even though Hamson has stated her intention to not play basketball through the summer and fall as she concentrates on volleyball, attending US team camp and playing out her final year of eligibility at BYU.

Hamson was the leading star of BYU's Women's basketball team that went 28-7, and made it to the sweet sixteen in the NCAA tournament where they lost to eventual champion, UConn. She has said that after volleyball season, she will consider going pro (in either sport), at which time the Sparks will have the rights to sign her before the rest of the WNBA.
