In men's college basketball? She'd have to adapt to the ball (no idea if she ever shoots a regular one now or not), but if she could do that, sure. She can flat out shoot. Would have to find a way to hide her on defense with a zone or she'd get overpowered.

Bigger balls and Wilson...don't think a hok can handle them both. At least according to Fran.

I have been to a few open gyms with juco and NCAA women's all american guards playing against normal average joe guys. sure, she can shoot, but she wouldn't get to the lane, get a shot off and just get abused defensively in the mens game. can you imagine her trying to get open or handle the ball against that physicality at the D1 mens level?
not trying to hate, but is she even 130 pounds?

just my experience anyway fwiw.

Not exactly sure.

The height could cause some issues for her too. 6’ is a good sized woman’s guard. Men’s guards are short at that height.
