If they did it…
Each year, the players selected in the WNBA Draft are overwhelmingly college seniors or international players. This is largely because, unlike the NBA, the WNBA requires players to be at least four years out of high school and turn 22 years old in the calendar year of the draft.
However, in the past several years, there have been a few examples of underclassmen meeting the eligibility criteria entering the draft, most notably 2015 top pick Jewell Loyd, who played three seasons at Notre Dame before going pro.
This year, several players will face decisions after their college seasons end about whether to return to school or enter the WNBA Draft. Instead of focusing on what each player will decide or how high she might be drafted, let’s look at these players’ stats and biggest strengths in college and see which WNBA teams would be the best fit for them.
