Parker, who is engaged to former Duke star and current Sacramento Kings player Shelden Williams, announced on Feb. 21 that she would enter this April's WNBA draft, becoming the first woman to give up her final year of eligibility to join the league. (She redshirted her freshman season after undergoing two operations and is due to graduate with a degree in sports management in May.) She'll also represent the U.S. at the Beijing Olympics. In the meantime Summitt intends to make the most of her final weeks with Parker. "Candace and her class came here to win a championship, and they did that," says Summitt. "I'm just hoping they can find one more in there before they leave."
