Aneesah Morrow was women’s college basketball’s top rebounder this past season — and finished her collegiate career as an all-time rebounder. In her senior year season at LSU, she averaged 18.8 points and 13.7 rebounds per game, shooting 49.4% from the field. The Athletic and Tankathon currently project that Morrow will be selected 7th overall by the Connecticut Sun. Yahoo Sports has the rebounding machine slotted 5th overall to be taken by the Golden State Valkyries. Those are higher projections than before the NCAA tournament — in part because several top prospects, most notably Olivia Miles, have opted to forego…
