Stanford star Cameron Brink announced on Tuesday that she will be entering the 2024 WNBA draft.
Brink is a projected lottery pick for the upcoming WNBA draft. She won the Pac-12 Player of the Year this year, and went back-to-back on Defensive Player of the Year awards. While she had one year of eligibility remaining thanks to Covid, she took a similar path to Iowa star Caitlin Clark, who is also opting to make the jump to the professional level.
In a post on social media, Brink called her four years at Stanford “nothing short of life changing.”
“Although I am excited for that next chapter, we still have unfinished business and so much to accomplish in my final season at Stanford,” she wrote.
The Cardinal lost the Pac-12 tournament to USC, but Brink still leaves college basketball having won a NCAA championship in 2021, and six Pac-12 titles between the regular season and conference tournament. She also helped Stanford to the Final Four in 2022, and the team is a projected 1-seed in this year’s NCAA tournament.
“Cam has had an exceptional college career and fully embraced what it means to be a Stanford student-athlete during her time on The Farm,” head coach Tara VanDerveer said in a statement.
“She worked hard to improve each and every year, helped us win a national championship, and has a lengthy list of very well-deserved awards and accomplishments. Simply put, she’ll go down as one of the best in program history.”
