TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A person close to the situation says Minnesota sophomore Amanda Zahui B. has declared for the WNBA draft.
The WNBA has strict rules about who may leave school early to be drafted. Zahui B. is from Sweden and is eligible because she will turn 22 during the calendar year of the draft.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made.
Zahui B. could be the top pick in the April 16 draft. She had until Monday at 11:59 p.m. to declare herself eligible.
The 6-foot-5 center was an AP All-American, averaging 18.8 points, 12.9 rebounds and 4.1 blocks. She was fourth in the nation in rebounding and helped guide the Gophers to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009.
