I have, both in college, and against 1 or 2 WNBA players, during their careers.
I did not play basketball in HS, but played a fair amount at the Rec Center at Mizzou, and played in adult/men's leagues until I was probably 40. Most of the guys I played with played in HS; many played in college, ranging from small D2/D3 schools to large conference Div. 1 schools.
Based on my experience playing with and against both categories of competition, top HS boys teams would absolutely beat WNBA players.
Women's basketball, of any level, can still be compelling, competitive basketball. Women can be very skilled at the game of basketball. But basketball at its highest level requires a great deal of athleticism *in addition to* skill.
