I would take her over many D1 men.
Could she defend? Not very well. Plenty of men cannot defend.
Could she consistently score? Absolutely, from long range at that. Plenty of men cannot consistently score.
Clearly, if size and strength are the only attributes you consider important to basketball ability, she could not play against men.
But, I bet on a lower level D1 men's team she would consistently score in double figures and she would beat many of them one on one.
I don't particularly like her and the fact that she played 50 more games than Pete Maravich to overtake his scoring record clearly proves who the actual all time collegiate scorer is.
However, to claim that she could not make a D1 men's team at the lower echelon of the classification if she wanted to is a joke. She would not be a super star but she could contribute off the bench.
If nothing else, her 88% free throw % would make her the designated technical foul shooter on almost every team in D1.
