Cameron Brink WNBA Draft 2024 projection: Projected draft pick and team

One of the hottest prospects coming into the 2024 WNBA draft, not named Caitlin Clark, is defensive specialist Cameron Brink. Since the women's professional league started releasing mock drafts and scouting reports for the current class of prospects, the Stanford standout has always been among the top talents.

Brink is projected to go second, as per ESPN's latest mock draft. If that were the case, she would end up playing for the LA Sparks.

The Sparks were one of the four teams that missed out on the postseason. Despite having the best record (17-23) among the teams that did not get to play postseason basketball, the Sparks were able to secure the second pick for the upcoming draft.

Throughout her four years in college, Cameron Brink averaged 3.1 blocks per game, showcasing her defensive acumen. She was also a force to be reckoned with on the boards, as she averaged 9.1 rebounds per game in her four years.

Her offensive skills were also on display each game, as she scored 14.0 points per game in her four-year college career.

Her senior season was her best yet, with career-high averages across the board. She averaged a double-double with 17.4 points and 11.9 rebounds. Brink also had her best defensive season, racking up 3.7 blocks per game.
