South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso is still eying a national championship, and now she has another huge milestone to look forward to this month. The star center has declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft, where she’s projected to be a top-five pick.
Since transferring from Syracuse to South Carolina ahead of the 2021-22 season, Cardoso has improved dramatically each year. This season was Cardoso’s first as a starter in Columbia, and she’s rewarded coach Dawn Staley’s trust by registering career highs in points (14.1), rebounds (9.4) and assists (2.1). Cardoso’s 2.48 blocks per game also rank 15th in Division I.
A force down low at 6-foot-7, Cardoso is a huge reason why South Carolina ranks first nationally in field goal percentage defense (32.1) and third in rebounding margin (12.2). She has a huge task ahead in the Final Four, as she’s expected to match up with NC State’s River Baldwin.
