"How much practice time do you suggest for someone to be able to someday play in the WNBA?"

Hi, Brittany! The way I look at it, you can't put a limit or specific number of hours on something like this. Players who are dedicated put in extra hours. The big thing is to be as dedicated as possible to become the best potential player that you can be. That is the only thing you can control. Getting to the WNBA may work out or it may not. But if you get to the point where you are the best potential player that you can be, then you'll be satisfied.
