8. Delaware: Elena Delle Donne (Wilmington)
A high school phenomenon at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delle Donne famously stepped away from a scholarship at UConn to attend the University of Delaware so she could remain close to her family and special-needs sister. She dominated collegiate basketball before entering the WNBA, where she has won two MVP awards, captured a league championship, and became the first WNBA player to join the hyper-elite 50-40-90 shooting club.
