Paopao only spent two seasons with the Gamecocks after playing three years with the Oregon Ducks. At Oregon, Paopao was the center of the offense, but when she made the move to South Carolina, she had to learn her role with the team. Paopao, in her South Carolina career, averaged 10.2 points per game, 2.7 rebounds per game, and 3.3 assists per game. Paopao is a great facilitator on the court, with some pop in the shooting game that will make them a valuable asset in the WNBA.
So, with two players at the draft tonight, South Carolina fans will be waiting anxiously in front of the TV, seeing where their favorite players will play next. Here is how to watch the 2025 WNBA Draft.
