Her getting named and good showing on the USA team played a big part in this. People do not understand how much exposer plays a part in respect to how players are evaluated. This will go a long way for her with respect to the WNBA draft as well. It should assure her of a legit chance to show what she can do throughout a season rather than just a short training camp and preseason. WNBA teams do not have scouting staffs but rather rel too much on hype and word of mouth I don’t see Mik as a WNBA player. She can make a lot more money pursuing a career in Medicine, which I understand is her goal. Best of luck to her whatever she decides. I see Mik doing both (WNBA and medicine) if it can be done. I know that she has stated numerous times that playing basketball after college is a high level goal for her. I wouldn't bet against her accomplishing both of those goals. |

Mik will do whatever she chooses and be very successful at it. She will have the option to continue her basketball career at a professional level, either WNBA or overseas. Or she could hang up her high tops.

Our she could hang up her high tops. Huge mistake if someone with her drive and her smarts opts for the WNBA instead of medical school. When you're young is when you learn best. Why spend your life collecting $30,000 a year (if you're lucky) and blowing all the learning opportunities as a medical student that could be had in those years, doing something that is an actual benefit to mankind instead of affording trivial entertainment to some basketball fans? She has consistently demonstrated a desire to help others, so her choice should be an easy one. |

Medical school, and the requisite training afterward, is a huge commitment. It couldn't be done simultaneously with playing in the WNBA, or any other pro league. And I would think the further removed, time wise, from academia, the harder to get back into it. Plus, there is a choice, perhaps, between 3 years as a journeyman pro making peanuts, or 3 more years practicing medicine.
I think she'll ultimately opt for medicine, but good luck to her whichever she chooses.

Be paid to go to another country and see the sights while you are young and able. Yeah, terrible fate. Can't imagine anyone doing that.

For 99% of the folks here being able to play professional sports is a dream come true. But there is a rewarding and exciting world and life outside of sports (shocking, I know). |
