Not only are there fewer players in the W.N.B.A., the odds of being drafted are worse than in other sports. According to the N.C.A.A.’s 2018 report, which uses data from the 2016-17 season, 0.9 percent of draft-eligible players were chosen by W.N.B.A. Not all of the 36 players selected each season in the three-round W.N.B.A. Toler and Agler said more college players should watch the W.N.B.A. “I wish a lot more women in college would watch the W.N.B.A., and the coaches have to promote the W.N.B.A.,” Toler said.
