Message: [QUOTE="awhom111, post: 4154977, member: 8683"] Strictly speaking, she declared for the 2022 WNBA draft whenever she was paid to a level that made it impossible to qualify for any college sports team in the United States. It seems like multiple media outlets were taken in by whatever her agency prepared for publicity purposes, which is smart by the agents, but kind of revealed some basic ignorance of WNBA rules that have been in place for years by the media. I wrote about a number of other international players who are also going to be available for selection, ranging from more likely to be picked to probably just a name on the end of somebody's draft board: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.womensbasketball247.com/2022/01/international-names-to-know-for-2022-draft/[/URL] I wonder how WNBA people actually regard play in the top divisions in Spain and France compared to various college conferences. In Spain, only the top few teams have any WNBA level players, but the league itself and the teams are pretty deep and there are plenty of experienced players and familiar names for those who follow college basketball. She's been pretty impressive this season on a team where they are relying heavily on her with most of the other key players just playing their first professional seasons after college. The age thing definitely makes international prospects harder to project given that she is around two years younger than the main college prospects. [/QUOTE]
