I had mentioned this on the General board, but with this thread, it certainly bears mentioning here.  It still remains to be seen how this will work, but it could be argued that she is a free agent in WNBA terms having gone undrafted in 2018 before she started at Fairfield.  There are other talented foreign players who have started in college the year that they turned 20, but other than maybe Tiana Mangakahia after her 2019 season, there has not really been a player who would have clear interest from teams for a direct signing.

From her perspective, there would be pros and cons for either determination.  As a free agent, she would be able to pick whichever team  she wants and she would get to sign before the draft.  If she has to go through the draft again, there is a more favorable initial contract with benefits to being drafted higher, even if there are longer term possible differences.  It would be fun to see teams mob her right after the season to try to get their contract offer in front of her first.
