(Gary Stallard/AC Athletics photo) Natasha Mack dons the cap of her new team, the WNBA’s Chicago Sky, after hearing her name called during WNBA draft Thursday, April 15. Mack, the former Angelina College standout, was the 16 th overall pick in the draft as selected by the Chicago Sky. “It’s time for me to go to work now.” Natasha Mack speaks to the ESPN Draft Day crew following her selection on Thursday, April 15 in WNBA draft. “I’m glad a team wanted me and believed in me,” Mack said while adjusting her new Sky cap. It sounds like a lot of traveling, but then again, Mack has shown she can handle just about any sort of journey. She reports to the team’s training bubble the week of April 19-27, and the Sky tips off its regular season on May 15 with a trip to face the Washington Mystics. Mack and her family will not have long to celebrate. She eclipsed the 1,000-point mark at OSU and became just the second-ever Cowgirl to notch a triple-double in a game. Her efforts led to the coveted Naismith Defensive Player of the Year award.
The team spent most of the year ranked in the top 20 nationally and established a record for wins in a season with 29.Īt her next stop at Oklahoma State University, Mack led the nation in blocks in 2021 with 112 for the season, averaging a nation’s best 4.0 blocks per game.
In her sophomore campaign, Mack led the Lady Roadrunners in 2018-2019 to the program’s first-ever appearance at the national tournament after AC won the Region XIV conference tournament. She was a four-time JUCO National Player of the Week and was the first AC athlete to earn both First Team All-American status and the National Player of the Year award. That’s what I’m here to do.”Īfter having AC coaches Byron Coleman and Randy McKelvey talk her into giving the game another shot, Mack proceeded to shatter numerous records during her two years at AC, including the records for points in a season (791), career points (1,471), rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage. “I need to prove I should have been taken in the first round,” Mack said during her ESPN interview. It will not be the first time Mack has had to prove her value. With family and friends holding a private watch party inside AC’s Shands Gymnasium – and on the same floor where Mack reignited her passion for the game – Mack waited and watched with the crowd as the draft unfolded on a large screen before them. Although early mock drafts had Mack listed among other first-round picks, the Sky waited until the second round to call Mack’s name. She will now pack her stories and talents and head to Chicago to play for the Sky. On Thursday, April 15, the outlets helped spread a different story: Mack, the former Lufkin High School and Angelina College standout, was the 16 th overall pick in the WNBA draft.
