Taurasi has publicly said, and I'm paraphrasing, she is in for a rude awakening when she enters the WNBA. Like most things - you can read it a lot of ways. It probably lands somewhere between jealousy and truth.Is Clark kind of getting the Barkley treatment from older WNBA ladies?? That’s great, who is the biggest shit talker?
The bottom line is the NCAA Tournament is the pinnacle, in terms of national attention, for women's basketball players. The Olympics also being ahead of the WNBA. This fact has led to a lot of conversation about WBB athletes staying in school for the attention now that they can get paid. A lot of WNBA players and pro-WNBA media members have gone to great lengths to trash that take.
