Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White have put the WNBA in a tough spot by declaring for the draft, and the league has limited options.

None of the options are good for the league, which is probably the point of their actions.

I do not think they are serious about playing.

Royce White announced that he will join the next WNBA Draft after Enes Kanter's statement.

Kanter and White declared their intention to enter the draft, which is a challenge for the WNBA.

Enes Kanter Freedom said that declaring his identity is all that is needed to compete in the WNBA.

Royce White said he is transgender and will declare for the WNBA draft, and he thinks he will be dominant.

This is a significant moment for them, but it is unlikely they will be selected.

There is a long way to go before the draft, and it is possible that they will not be eligible.

Enes Kanter Freedom is warming up before a game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The WNBA could say that Kanter and White are not eligible because they are men.

This would be a problem for the WNBA's image and values.

Here are a few options for the league to consider.

The WNBA could say that Kanter and White are not eligible under the current rules and not comment further.

Refusing to elaborate is the best option for the league, as it avoids controversy.

The WNBA could say that Kanter and White have lived and identified as men, so they do not meet the draft requirements.

The league's collective bargaining agreement says that only women are eligible to play, but it does not define what a woman is.

The WNBA could create new rules to determine who is eligible to play.

This would allow the league to keep its values while also keeping Kanter and White out.

This option would delay the problem but not solve it.

The WNBA could take a strong stance and say that Kanter and White are not eligible because they are men.

This option is unlikely because it would go against the league's values and narrative.

The trans community and the left would be upset if the WNBA took this stance.

The WNBA has made trans rights a priority, so it is unlikely to change its stance now.

The easiest option for the WNBA is to avoid taking a strong stance.

The WNBA could lean into the controversy and let Kanter and White join the draft.

This option is risky and could lead to the end of the WNBA.

The league could say that Kanter and White are eligible and hope that nothing bad happens.

This would set a precedent and could lead to the end of the WNBA.

Most people would leave the league because it would be ridiculous and unfair to the women players.
