-
50.6% FG
-
40.4% 3FG
-
89.0% FT

0.9 SPG

It'd be tough to imagine better stats.

Did Maggie Doogan get drafted?
Doogan didn't get drafted in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
Despite her big stats, she was overlooked.

The only way to speculate on this is to assume that Richmond's level of competition wasn't respected enough.
