WNBA

Monique Currie was selected third in the 2006 WNBA Draft by the Charlotte Sting . In the 2006 season she was almost always in the Sting's starting line-up. Currie finished her first WNBA season an average of 10 points in 25 minutes per game. After the Sting broke up after that season, Currie was selected first in the Dispersal Draft by the Chicago Sky .
