Maya Moore and Seimone Augustus, who together won four WNBA titles with the Minnesota Lynx, will headline the inductees into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in April.
They will be joined by another former Lynx teammate, Taj McWilliams-Franklin.
Moore led UConn to perfect seasons and national championships in 2009 and ’10, then was selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2011 WNBA draft. She joined Augustus, who was the No. 1 pick in 2006 out of LSU, with the Lynx. Minnesota then made the WNBA Finals six of the next seven seasons, winning titles in 2011, ’13, ’15 and ’17.
McWilliams-Franklin was on the 2011 Lynx title team with Moore and Augustus. She previously had won WNBA titles with the Detroit Shock in 2006 and ’08.
Moore and Augustus also were Olympic teammates, winning gold medals on the 2012 and ’16 U.S. squads. Augustus also won gold with the 2008 U.S. team.
Moore was a three-time winner of the Wade Trophy at UConn, where she is the all-time leading scorer (3,036 points) and went to the Final Four all four seasons.
