what are the rules for college players to enter the draft? Do you have to be a senior? Or what? Cause I was wondering why players like Maya Moore and Brittney Griner were not up there.

Probably because they know they wont make much money int he WNBA so they finish their degrees. Unlike the players who have a chance to go to the NBA and be millionaires right away

This.
They most always stay for their degrees. Because they don't make a lot of money like NBA rookies do.

She did. And there are a few exceptions.
She had marketing deals and endorsments waiting on her, for the most part these players do not.

Speaking to a friend of mine, former buckeye Jessica Davenport, she told me that women basketball players must be 4 years removed from high school before entering the WNBA draft. Which is why players play all four years in college. However, they can leave and go overseas at any time.

Yeah, which is why Parker could go. She redshirted her frosh year.

You beat me to it. I was just about to post about Parker medical red-shirting her freshman season.

Parker left, and some girl from Rutgers got drafted yesterday, but she left Rutgers to go play overseas in Turkey. Those are the only 2 I can think of who left college early

Female basketball players actually make more money overseas than they do in the WNBA, from my understanding.
