USA Basketball

[edit]

McCray was named a member of the team representing the US at the 2009 World University Games held in Belgrade, Serbia. The team won all seven games to earn the gold medal. McCray led the team in scoring in the semi-final game against Australia, and was the second leading scorer overall, averaging 12.0 points per game[3]

WNBA

[edit]

Danielle McCray was selected 7th overall by the Connecticut Sun in the 2010 WNBA Draft. According to several analysts, McCray would have been selected in the top four had she not suffered an ACL injury she suffered on February 2, 2010.[1] McCray's pick makes her the highest-selected player in the WNBA draft in KU's history.[1] Additionally, her selection makes her the first Jayhawk drafted into the WNBA since Jaclyn Johnson was taken by the Orlando Miracle with the 42nd pick in the 2001 WNBA draft.
