Allison Galer of Disrupt the Game announced Monday that she’d added UCLA star Monique Billings as a client.

Galer, whose agency represents WNBA stars like Chiney Ogwumike of the Connecticut Sun and Elizabeth Williams of the Atlanta Dream, announced her latest client Monday on social media channels.

Billings is a sought-after player in the 2018 WNBA Draft, to be held on March 12 in New York. The elite athlete is currently projected to go 12th overall to the Phoenix Mercury on the High Post Hoops WNBA Draft Big Board, but expect her to be in discussions even earlier in the first round.

Billings is an elite athlete with a versatile offensive game, using her leaping ability to help catapult her over opponents to grab rebounds. She helped lead Cori Close’s UCLA team to the Elite Eight this season, and provided offensive consistency, scoring in double figures in each of her final 11 games, and 32 of 35 this season.

“I would say we put our mark and stamp on this program,” Billings told reporters following UCLA’s final game, an 89-73 loss to Mississippi State. “We created a legacy that was already here but we added on to that and built. For my teammates in the years to come I know that knave a lot more to keep building toward. I think we set the foundation for that and they have good things to look forward to.”

She can also provide rim protection for her next employer, with a 5.3 block percentage, per HerHoopStats.

In just a few weeks, she’ll be doing all of that for a professional team.
