Former UConn guard Nika Muhl went viral after her defensive performance against Caitlin Clark during the NCAA Tournament and took the internet by storm again at the WNBA Draft.
The Croatian star was turning heads on the orange carpet ahead of the prestigious event on Monday night and showed off an icy grill while posing for photos.
Muhl spent the last four years playing for the Huskies, helping them reach the Final Four this year, but they would lose to Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes after a late, controversial call. The Seattle Storm selected her as the 14th overall pick of the night.
The 23-year-old was a facilitator on offense for Geno Auriemma, averaging 6.9 points and 7.1 assists a game. She stood out during UConn’s loss to Iowa as she held Clark to a season-low in scoring with some pesky defense, also hitting some big shots.
While things didn’t quite work out for her last season, Nika Muhl is ready for the pros. She’s already shown she’s special, having stolen the show on draft night by showing off her stunning outfit and shiny grill. The piece, which reads “ZG,” is a nod to her hometown of Zagreb. It was designed by Gabby Elan Jewelry.
