‘I played against WNBA players’ – Ex-teammate shares how Julie Tetart would fare in the league
· Yahoo Sports
The Julie Tetart saga is getting a lot of attention once again after former teammate Sara Crudo spoke out.
Enes Kanter and Royce White turned their media stunt into an unintended beacon for actual transgender athletes looking at the WNBA. The pair claimed draft eligibility to mock inclusion policies, their antics opened a real dialogue for former G League prospects and European talent watching the league closely.

French center Julie Tetart fits right into this group. An athlete open to making the jump after transitioning to a woman, provided the door ever opens.
As much as seeing biological men playing in the WNBA is a no-no for some people, there’s a general curiosity about how things would go.
Sara Crudo suggests Julie Tetart isn’t actually that good
Julie Tetart’s former teammate at Monaco, Sara Crudo, has given fans an insight into how she would fare in the WNBA, having played against players from the league herself.
Despite claims of 20 point and 20 rebound games, Crudo isn’t convinced that Tetart would be any good in the WNBA, even going as afar as saying that she ‘doesn’t have the skills.’
She told Royce White: “For the past 15 years—14 of them in Italy’s top division—I’ve played for the national team and in the Euro Cup. I’ve played against WNBA players, because as you know, a lot of WNBA players come to Europe during the winter. I’ve even played against players from your league, and I just don’t see the connection between Julie and the WNBA.
“In my personal opinion, without trying to be rude, she doesn’t have the skills to compete in the WNBA. Being born male, she is extremely strong—much stronger than us biological women. But basketball isn’t just about strength, so I’m not sure she could compete at that level.”
She makes it clear that jumping to the top level isn’t as simple as relying on physical size. Biological strength might get attention, but success takes real skill and pure talent that sheer size can never fake.
It’s an interesting take when you see people like Enes Kanter talking about how he would break Wilt Chamberlain’s record in the WNBA and form a partnership with Caitlin Clark.
