The Lynx announced the signing Monday of the team's second-round pick, California forward Reshanda Gray, and their fourth-round choice, Gophers forward Shae Kelley.
Gray, selected No. 16 overall, is a Pac-12 Player of the Year and Wooden Award finalist who averaged 17.4 points and 7.1 rebounds in her final year with the Golden Bears.
Kelley, taken with the 35th overall pick, is a 6-1 forward who was named first-team all-Big Ten. She finished sixth in the conference in scoring, offensive rebounds and double-doubles in helping the Gophers reach the NCAA tournament.
The team is expected to announce the re-signing of star Maya Moore soon. Training camp begins in mid-May.

Gophers softball ace Groenewegen honored
Gophers sophomore Sara Groenewegen was chosen the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week for the fourth time this season.
Groenewegen pitched three shutouts last week, a no-hitter against North Dakota State and a one-hitter and two-hitter in a weekend sweep of Iowa.
She racked up 25 strikeouts in 15 scoreless innings of work and held opponents to a league-best .064 batting average. Groenewegen now has three no-hitters in her career.
