Honestly money wise she is better off playing in a majority of the other professional leagues around the world. WNBA is honestly mid to lower end of pay scale.

As great as Kitley was in college, it's going to be extremely hard for her game to translate to the W. Expanding the league to by two to 15 next year will help her chances. But she probably won't be around long enough to benefit from expansion to 18 in 2029.

The biggest problem this season is that teams are trying to operate at 10 person rosters rather than the 12 limit due to salary cap issues. They added teams but with teams reducing rosters they essentially have the same number of players in the league. League roster sits around 130 players total right now.
They don't get to 18 teams until 2030 when Philly joins but next year gets two new teams in Portland and Toronto, 2028 one new team in Cleveland, 2029 in Detroit and 2030 in Philly.
The crazy part to me is the franchise fee for all 5 new teams was $250M each. Seems insane to pay that considering last year the league lost $50M or about $4.5M per team.

Yeah, I just got lost when they said they were expanding the numbers of teams. You would think they would want to operate in the black for a couple years first. But in reality, the $250M fee per new team is going to fund the league for a while and a billionaire is going to have a tax write-off.

That league has never been and will never be profitable. ever. If ESPN screams about something all day, it does not mean it resonates with fans in real life. It never has. Its a terrible product that nobody cares about- but since Molly Querem brings up Angel Reese every morning it has the -perception- of being popular. ESPN needs summer content and pays the NBA a gazillion dollars for rights fees. That's why it appears sucessful - its not and never has been,

She'll catch on somewhere. Too good not to

So long as she doesn't want to smoke weed in Russia
Even Willie would know that's a no-no.
Either that or moving on to medical school like she used to want to.
Billie Beane said it best ""We're all told at some point that we can no longer play the children's game. We just don't know when that's gonna be."

Time to sue for more eligibility in college and then transfer to Kentucky /s
Is that you DC?
She would probably win because the ACL injury happened during her college career and because, you know... Go Blue! /s
