Early life

[edit]

McCray was born in Boynton Beach, Florida, and as a young child, her family moved to Olathe, Kansas.[citation needed] McCray attended Olathe East High School and was an All-State selection.[citation needed] During her senior season, she accepted an athletic scholarship to the University of Kansas.[citation needed]

College career

[edit]

McCray concluded her career ranked in the top 10 of nine categories — including fourth in all-time scoring with 1,934 points — and with a good deal of hardware.[1]

USA Basketball

[edit]

McCray was named a member of the team representing the US at the 2009 World University Games held in Belgrade, Serbia.[citation needed] 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[2]

Professional career

[edit]

McCray was selected 7th overall by the Connecticut Sun in the 2010 WNBA Draft.[citation needed] According to several analysts, McCray would have been selected in the top four had she not suffered an ACL injury she suffered in February 2010.[1] McCray's pick makes her the highest-selected player in the WNBA draft in KU's history.[1]
