Local women's hoops star Te-Hina Paopao was drafted with the 18th pick by the Atlanta Dream in yesterday's WNBA draft. Why it matters: Paopao is from Oceanside and was a McDonald's All American and Gatorade California Play of the Year at La Jolla Country Day School. The guard earned all-conference distinction in all of her college seasons (three at Oregon, and two at South Carolina). She helped the Gamecocks win the national championship in 2024 and return to the title game in 2025.
