#1. Because she can. She’ll be 22 at the time of the draft. Required age for WNBA eligibility.
#2. Wear and tear. NCAA D1 Season including conf tournament and deep tournament run is about the same as WNBA season with their short playoff series’. About 40 games. Understand she’s fighting through some tendinitis this year.
#3. #1 draft projection. WNBA is not a big-money league for most but for #1 picks it can be lucrative. Sabrina is projected by many insiders to be selected #1 if she enters the WNBA draft.
#4. What does she want? Does this Bay Area girl really care about the UofNike or are they just a means to her professional goals?
In the end, I expect Sabrina to look after herself.

Limited shelf life in pro basketball. Women don't earn the megabucks like the men. Every year she doesn't earn, it costs her. Why waste a year at uo when you can get paid.
Supposedly she is already fighting knee tendinitis, which might account for her sub-par (for her) performances in Pac-12 games.

A reason to maybe stay would be that the upcoming 2019 WNBA season is the last one under a Collective Bargaining Agreement that is widely viewed as quite flawed - though one could imagine signing a 1 year deal as opposed to (I believe) the 3 year deal a #1 pick would merit...... I don't know if the WNBA financials will change the model any time soon however where most of the WNBA stars play overseas for the money, but in the WNBA for the "gilt by association" and the visibility. Go Beavers!
