The WNBA promotes the wrong players. Watching Angel Reese hoop is painful. Itโs like if the NBA wouldโve given Mark Madsen a signature Reebok shoe & a Barbie doll back in the day. Make it make sense. Shakira Austin is 50x better than Angel, but she donโt get the love smh.
@TimGarrisonMN I was in attendance for game 7 vs Kings & the way the crowd erupted when Webber missed that shotโฆIโll never forget that feeling.
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
Iโm officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all thatโs required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBAโs eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
Iโm simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone โ the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

@UofBasketball Depth could be an issue if the starting 5 gets hit with the injury bug. If they can stay healthy like the Lnixks did last season, I canโt see them finding success. Pelle is ready for this role.
