Message: [QUOTE="shinobimono, post: 2141874, member: 4963"] There's almost no compelling reason to declare for the WNBA draft early, unless you come from an impoverished background and view the $30-40,000 (a little higher for a top 3 pick - around $50k max) you'll make in your first year as big money or you just hate school and the whole college scene. The extra money you'll earn playing overseas will of course sweeten the pot, but unless you are one of the top draft picks, you won't make the really big money. Therefore, I am puzzled why people keep speculating about players declaring early for the draft . There's virtually no reason to. Jewell Loyd was perhaps one of the few players who made a savvy decision declaring early because it made her the #1 pick, which enables her to earn extra money overseas because of that. [/QUOTE]
