The bomb came last week. Amanda Zahui, 21, dropping out of college to become professionals in the WNBA. That, along with the Notre Dam’s Jewell Loyd took the same decision, raised the temperature on draften considerably.
It has been debated in the wild in the United States as to which of supertalangerna to be selected first. Tonight Swedish time, it was clear that Seattle chose Jewell’s first choice.
But Tulsa, who was next in line, picked Zahui.
No Swedish player has previously been near anything like.
But Zahui do not know if it will be a trend that more college players do the same thing and drop out of school.
– Both I and Jewell is very unique player. But whoever wants to do that must be adamant. And be sure to be happy. This feeling is fantastic, says Zahui.
