WNBA Draft boards gave Yarden Garzon a solid chance to get picked on Monday night.
The former Indiana and Maryland star from Israel has a useful skillset as a lanky, 6-foot-3 guard.
In her final college season with the Terrapins, Garzon put up these numbers:
- 12.5 PPG
- 4.0 RPG
- 3.0 APG
- 40.5 FG%
- 36.7 3FG%
- 87.5 FT%
- 1.1 SPG
Despite that, she didn't have the draft night she would've been hoping for.
Did Yarden Garzon get drafted?
No, Garzon wasn't picked in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
She had to watch the draft and wonder what her pro basketball future might hold.
Why didn't Yarden Garzon get drafted?
Garzon's lack of selection likely has to do with perceived upside.
While a great 3-point shooter, Garzon seemingly would at best just be an outside specialist at the WNBA level.
Teams make picks for all kinds of reasons, but they must've felt Garzon didn't bring enough to the table to take in the draft.
Her shooting will probably get her a training camp invite in hopes of proving herself.
