Armed with three of the top eight selections in the upcoming WNBA draft, the Los Angeles Sparks on Feb. 19 traded the No. 8 overall pick to the Chicago Sky for Belgian guard Julie Allemand, Chinese center Li Yueru, and a third-round choice in next year’s draft.
The Sparks still have their own first-round draft pick this year, No. 2 overall, as well as the fourth selection, which they acquired in a Jan. 31 trade with the Seattle Storm.
