The 2014 WNBA Draft took place Monday night, and history was made. Connecticut held the No. 1 overall pick, and took Stanford’s Chiney Ogwumike, whose sister Nnemkadi Ogwumike was the No. 1 overall choice in 2012 for the Los Angeles Sparks. The sisters are the first pair of siblings to go No. 1 since Eli and Peyton Manning in the NFL.
