Barker led Alabama in scoring this season at over 18 points per game and put up one of the most impressive performances in the entire NCAA tournament with a 45-point game against Maryland in the Crimson Tide’s crushing loss to Maryland in the second round.
She is trying to be come the first Alabama player drafted since Brittany Davis was picked in the third round by the Las Vegas Aces in 2023. Barker would become the ninth player in program history drafted to the WNBA.
“I think a lot of people would have maybe backed out, maybe not. Certainly I wanted to at times. I know that … I’m never going to quit. I’m always going to show up.”
