The Seattle Storm has made a significant addition to its roster by selecting Serena Sundell as the 26th overall pick in the WNBA draft. A combo guard from Kansas State, Serena enters the professional arena with notable family ties, as she is the sister of Jalen Sundell, an interior offensive lineman for the Seattle Seahawks. This marks the Storm's first selection, as they did not possess first or second-round picks due to prior trades. They complemented this pick by also drafting Madison Conner from TCU and Jordan Hobbs from Michigan in the third round.

Jalen Sundell, who signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent last year, has established himself as a reliable reserve on the team's offensive line. Seahawks General Manager John Schneider expressed confidence in Sundell's versatility and intelligence, hinting at the potential for him to compete for a starting position. With Serena’s new role in the WNBA, the Sundell siblings are set to embark on their respective professional journeys while supporting one another.
