Gorecki Signs with Seattle Storm
2/24/2021 8:48:00 AM | Women's Basketball
DURHAM, N.C. – The Seattle Storm of the WNBA has announced the squad has signed former Duke women's basketball standout Haley Gorecki to a training camp contract. Â
"I'm so excited and grateful to have this opportunity," Gorecki said. "I am looking forward to proving myself at training camp and I cannot wait to be out in Seattle."
The Storm selected Gorecki in the third round of the 2020 WNBA draft with the No. 31 overall pick. In 2020, she played overseas in Spain for Casedemont Zaragoza, averaging 9.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
A 2019-20 USBWA All-America, Gorecki is coming off a season where she averaged 18.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.1 steals. Gorecki collected seven double-doubles and 12 contests with 20 or more points for the Blue Devils, which ranked second in the ACC. The 6-0 guard was the only student-athlete in power five conferences to average over 18.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals.
Gorecki, who is from Palatine, Ill., was an All-ACC First Team and All-ACC Defensive Team honoree, while being named one of five finalists for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award for the top shooting guard in the nation. In the ACC statistics, she ranked second in scoring (18.5), second in steals (2.1), seventh in assists (4.4), third in free throw percentage (85.6), 18th in rebounds (6.6), third in minutes played (36.4), eighth in three-point field goals made (2.0) and seventh in three-point field goal percentage (33.7). Â
After being injured for the majority of her first three seasons at Duke, Gorecki turned in two of the most impressive years in Duke history in 2018-19 and 2019-20. She became the first Duke player to average over 17.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in back-to-back seasons, while also becoming the second ACC player to lead her team in back-to-back seasons in scoring, rebounding and assists. Gorecki was just the sixth Blue Devil to notch back-to-back 500-point seasons. Over her final two years, she notched 23 games with 20 or more points, which was the most in the ACC and reached 1,000 points in only 77 games, which was the 10th-quickest Blue Devil to do so.
