Rachel DeMita is officially questioning the WNBA's leadership.
The former women's college basketball player turned social media influencer is on the side of those criticizing the WNBA for the way they have handled things as of late. Multiple former NBA players have declared for the WNBA Draft, Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham are speaking out against the league's referees and more.
DeMita, who is among the most popular influencers in the women's basketball space, officially called out the WNBA's leadership this week. She is urging the WNBA to get things under control.
"Cannot believe what I’m seeing on the timeline rn.. WNBA needs to get the chaos in check. Things are spiraling rn," she wrote on X.
Meanwhile, as DeMita calls out the league, two former NBA players - Enes Kanter and Royce White - have declared for the WNBA Draft.
Two former NBA players declare for WNBA Draft
Kanter, a former top 10 NBA Draft pick, called out the WNBA on X.
"If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027," he shared.
White added: "I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I'll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well. I think I’d be unstoppable. But I’m a team-first guy. I’m a pass-first kind of player. I do the little things. I led my team in all five major stat categories at Iowa State University, so I do a little bit of everything. I’ll do whatever the coach needs me to do. I’ll do whatever the girls need me to do...I think it’s only fair."
It's a wild time in the WNBA, that's for sure.
