The Lynx added more talent to their roster in today’s WNBA dispersal draft selecting veteran forward Rebekkah Brunson from the defunct Sacramento Monarch’s roster. The Lynx had the 2nd selection in the draft based on their 14-20 record last season. Nicole Powell was chosen by New York with the top pick.

Drafted 10th overall out of Georgetown by Sacramento in 2004, Brunson helped the Monarchs win a WNBA title in 2005 and was an All Star in 2007. She averaged 12.3 points and 7 rebounds per game in 2009.

It has been a tumultuous off-season for the WNBA, in addition to Sacramento folding, Detroit relocated to Tulsa, OK. The addition of Brunson comes less than a week after the Lynx named Cheryl Reeve their new head coach after negotiations with Jennifer Gillom broke down. Reeve is the team’s third coach since May.
