The Connecticut Sun made their first move of the post-Anne Donovan era by trading the fourth pick in last year’s WNBA draft, Elizabeth Williams, to Atlanta for the fourth pick in this year’s draft.

WNBA teams were not allowed to make any roster decisions until Feb. 1.

“We are excited about the trade with Atlanta allowing us to have two of the top four picks in the deep 2016 WNBA Draft,” said first-year Sun coach Curt Miller in a press release. “It is always hard trading a talented player and great person like Elizabeth Williams, but we believe the draft provides us with a tremendous opportunity to address specific needs.”

The Sun already own the No. 3 pick.

It’s expected that Seattle will take UConn’s Breanna Stewart with the first pick and that San Antonio will take UConn point guard Moriah Jefferson at No. 2.

However, the additional draft pick and some roster flexibility will allow the Sun to make some future moves if the club so desires.

South Carolina guard Tiffany Mitchell is the logical No. 3 pick if everything remains status quo.

It’s possible UConn’s Morgan Tuck, who is having a fine season for the Huskies with a 14.9 point-per-game average, will also be available. The 6-foot-2 forward has the choice to stay at UConn for a fifth year or declare her eligibility for the draft. She returned to the UConn lineup Wednesday for the first time since Jan. 19 after missing time with a knee problem.

Williams appeared in the first 21 games of the season for the Sun last year before she was sidelined with a knee contusion. She had career-highs of 10 points and six rebounds twice, and finished the season with 19 blocks, tied for the team lead. She had five blocks against Indiana on July 28, including four in one quarter, tying a franchise record held by Margo Dydek and Sandrine Gruda.

“Elizabeth is an amazing individual and a very talented young player who will be missed by our fans,” Sun general manager Chris Sienko said. “We know she will thrive in Atlanta’s system, but this move gives us a unique opportunity to make a significant impact in what we expect will be a very deep draft.”
