The Julie Tetart saga is getting a lot of attention once again after former teammate Sara Crudo spoke out.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

As much as seeing biological men playing in the WNBA is a no-no for some people, there\u2019s a general curiosity about how things would go.<\/p>\n

Sara Crudo suggests Julie Tetart isn\u2019t actually that good<\/p>\n

Julie Tetart\u2019s former teammate at Monaco, Sara Crudo, has given fans an insight into how she would fare in the WNBA<\/a>, having played against players from the league herself. <\/p>\n

Despite claims of 20 point and 20 rebound games, Crudo isn\u2019t convinced that Tetart would be any good in the WNBA, even going as afar as saying that she \u2018doesn\u2019t have the skills.\u2019<\/p>\n

She told Royce White: \u201cFor the past 15 years\u201414 of them in Italy\u2019s top division\u2014I\u2019ve played for the national team and in the Euro Cup. I\u2019ve played against WNBA players, because as you know, a lot of WNBA players come to Europe during the winter. I\u2019ve even played against players from your league, and I just don\u2019t see the connection between Julie and the WNBA.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my personal opinion, without trying to be rude, she doesn\u2019t have the skills to compete in the WNBA. Being born male, she is extremely strong\u2014much stronger than us biological women. But basketball isn\u2019t just about strength, so I\u2019m not sure she could compete at that level.\u201d<\/p>\n

She makes it clear that jumping to the top level isn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an interesting take when you see people like Enes Kanter talking about how he would break Wilt Chamberlain\u2019s record<\/a> in the WNBA and form a partnership with Caitlin Clark.<\/p>\n
