Closest I could find was Lusia Harris, who was was drafted by the New Orleans Jazz in 1977, but never played.
That would be too late, with the damage and unfair advantage done. When I was younger, people didn't hate women so much. They had vision and offered opportunities for women to break barriers, particularly in sports. In the seventh round of the 1977 NBA draft, the New Orleans Jazz selected Harris with the 137th pick overall. She became the second woman ever drafted by an NBA team, after Denise Long, who was selected by the San Francisco Warriors in the 1969 draft.[20] However, the league voided the Warriors' selection, thus Harris became the first and only woman ever officially drafted.[21] Harris did not express an interest to play in the NBA and declined to try out for the Jazz.[22] It was later revealed that she was pregnant at the time, which made her unable to attend the Jazz's training camp.[23] She was selected ahead of 33 other male players, including the Jazz's eighth round selection, Dave Speicher from the University of Toledo.[24] In a poll on the NBA.com website, she was ranked as the most unusual pick in the history of the NBA draft. People nowadays have devolved to the point many are subhuman in their public interactions with others.
The NBA today is pretty sissied-up compared to most of it's history, and is mostly just a 3pt jump-shooting game. Dozens of WNBA players would improve most any current bench in the NBA, especially ours.
