The only thing better than Kaitlyn and Aubrey getting drafted is that now you get to remind your husband (repeatedly!) that you called it and he doubted you.
Hmmm, I didn't get an invitation. Strange. Anybody else's mail get messed up?
She was there. She left early for the portal
I'll be a tough row to hoe for both Kailyn and Aubrey. Even if they don't stick now, they've raised their profile by being WNBA draftees. They'll learn the pro ropes and make contacts. It can only help in securing a decent contract somewhere overseas, if necessary or desired.
I don't think she was ever coming here, and if you're a top international player that can cut the line by virtue of the lower age requirement to get into the W, why wouldn't you?
The reason would be to build a brand. The WNBA is not the lucrative payoff at the end of the line it is for men's players and the NBA.
This may not be an accurate assumption. For all we know Jocyte could have been doing that already in Europe while playing in their pro leagues.
She’ll be in the US on a student visa, not a work visa, which limits how she can make money. I believe only passive income from tees is allowed, no commercials or sponsorships.
To build a brand in the United States. Basketball is popular in Lithuania, so I would assume she isn't having a hard time building her brand there.
I was thinking Europe as a whole versus the US considering she's been playing Euroleague. Her brand in North America might not be as important to her as we may assume.
