Cameron Brink will begin her WNBA career playing just down the road from Stanford.
The Stanford Cardinal star forward was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks with the No. 2 pick of the 2024 WNBA draft. The former Southridge High School and Mountainside High School star was selected after the Indiana Fever used the No. 1 pick to select Iowa Hawkeyes’ star Caitlin Clark on Monday.
The 6-foot-4 Brink posted a career season at Stanford. She’ll travel south to play for the Sparks.
“The college season is hard,” Brink told ESPN’s Holly Rowe. ”But I’m just so looking forward to a new challenge and ready to get to work.”
Brink just finished an All-America campaign at Stanford, where she averaged a career-high 17.4 points, along with 12 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game this season. She led the nation in blocks and was third in rebounding.
The senior was selected as the Pac-12 Player and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming just the third player in Pac-12 history to sweep the league’s Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards, along with Stanford’s Chiney Ogwumike (2013, 2014) and Arizona’s Aari McDonald (2021). Brink was also selected as the Naismith Women’s Defensive Player of the Year.
