Naz Hillmon, the most decorated and influential player in Michigan women’s basketball history, has declared for the WNBA Draft.
A day after Michigan was eliminated in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament by Louisville, Hillmon’s name appeared Tuesday on a list released by the WNBA of 88 players who have formally filed for consideration in the upcoming WNBA Draft.
The draft is April 11. Hillmon, who could not be reached for comment Tuesday, had the option of playing an additional season at Michigan with the bonus year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
