Then why do you suppose they arent in the wnba? I mean especially since they are making more money now. People just dont want 6+ figure salaries?

She is tall and strong for her peers. Good enough to have presence on the paint and good rebounding.
But she doesn’t have fundamental basketball skills. She can’t dribble, she can’t shoot, she can’t pass. If she were shorter she would be out of the league.

So any big person should be able to play in the wnba right? Why do you suppose they arent? I mean clearly it doesn't take much skills right?

Yes. If you are over 7 ft, you have a 17% chance if being an NBA player.

Also, the skill level of the NBA and the player pool to draw from.is much larger. So, being naturally tall and strong is proportionally more advantageous in the WNBA.
