Stanford star and Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Cameron Brink was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She averaged 17.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game last season with the Cardinal.

Stanford star Cameron Brink is heading to Hollywood. The 6-foot-4 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year was the No. 2 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft on Monday night in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Brink played in 135 games during her career at Stanford, starting in all but 13 contests. She enjoyed a tremendous senior campaign in the 2023-24 season, averaging 17.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game.

The Cardinal finished the season with a 30-6 record, which included a 15-3 mark in Pac-12 play.

Los Angeles finished last year's WNBA season with a 17-23 record. The Sparks have won three WNBA championships, but the last one came in 2016.

Brink will bring a strong interior presence to Los Angeles on both ends of the floor. She's proven to be a great defenisve commodity and an excellent shot blocker on the floor. Brink is also capable of scoring in bunches.

For her career, Brink nearly averaged a double-double. She scored 14.0 points and grabbed 9.1 rebounds over the course of her four-year career with the Cardinal. Brink also blocked more than three shots per game for her career.
