In addition to South Carolina’s A’ja Wilson, Ohio State’s Kelsey Mitchell and others, another name that is sure to get plenty of attention as we get closer to draft day is UCLA’s Monique Billings.
Her current team – the Bruins – advanced last night to their third consecutive Sweet 16 via an 86-64 victory over Creighton. Billings tallied 15 points in the Bruins victory.
If this draft board turns out to be accurate on draft night, Billings will take her talents to the east coast as it projects she will be drafted tenth overall by the New York Liberty.
In addition to that, she is also one of many women’s ballers to start their own YouTube channel. Hers is sure to gain more notoriety as she transitions into the W as she has pushed ahead with a modeling career along with basketball.
Me and my diverse interests – I bring it all together and that’s what I want to inspire people with, that you don’t just have to do one thing.
–Monique Billings per The Daily Bruin
Billings has vlogged about a variety of topics, from balancing life on the court with life off the court…
…to her experience with USA Basketball…
…to modeling at UCLA…
…her status as a fashionista…
