Former Arizona women’s basketball standout Sam Thomas is not ready to give up basketball yet. Thomas has exhausted her NCAA eligibility after spending five years with the Wildcats, but she’s now hoping to take a step into the professional ranks. Step one of that process is the 2022 WNBA Draft.
During the season, Thomas said she was thinking ahead, but she didn't want to think about it too much because she wanted to live in the moment.
“I’m definitely keeping my options open,” Thomas said ahead of senior day in February. “I haven’t really thought a lot about it just because I want to soak in all the moments that I have here, but definitely whatever opportunities are presented, whether it’s WNBA or overseas, I definitely would love to play after college.
