A’ja Wilson established herself as one of South Carolina’s greatest players
A’ja Wilson is arguably one of the greatest players in South Carolina’s program history. Under coach Dawn Staley, she set multiple all-time and single-season records and led them to the 2017 national championship in her junior year.
In her final season at Columbia, Wilson won consensus National Player of the Year and unanimous First-Team All-American honors, while also winning the Wooden Award, the Naismith Trophy and the Wade Trophy. The Las Vegas Aces made the most of their opportunity in the 2018 WNBA draft and made Wilson the top overall pick.
Although the Aces did not win the WNBA title this year, Wilson enjoyed another strong season, as she was named WNBA MVP for the third time in her career.
