Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha said that former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom’s declaration for the 2027 WNBA draft was a “brilliant PR move.” Concha argued that Freedom’s basketball background makes the stunt particularly effective. Concha also pointed to former NBA player Royce White, who has similarly declared for the WNBA draft, noting that the WNBA would not allow it. Freedom’s declaration puts the WNBA in the position of determining whether his interpretation of its eligibility rules is valid.
