People really slept on Rickea Jackson. Wasn't talked about enough but understood it because of the popularity of Clark/Brink/Cardoso/Reese which deserved the attention. But Rickea is an all around player that can score inside and out, play defense and is very tough minded. I know most will say the duo of Cardoso/Reese in Chicago, but they don't have a lot of offense game especially in the perimeter, but could grow into later in their careers. They will however be really good defensively and getting rebounds. But right off the bat, for me the LA Sparks have the best incoming duo in Brink/Jackson because both can do it on both ends.

Well Caitlyn may shoot but she doesn’t play defense so she bets to be ready for the real league

As a Mystics fan, i'm happy with the Aaliyah Edwards pick. But id be lying if I didn't say I feel like we missed a HUGE opportunity with passing on Angel Reese. She's from Baltimore only an hour away from DC, the buzz she woulda brought to the city, the Mystics woulda been bigger than the Wizards, EASILY. and I think that buzz woulda flowed throughout the rest of the team and the organization. we coulda had two of our best players being from the area with Shakira being from VA as well. That duo would've been crazy. And not only that, by passing on Angel we let her go to another Eastern Conference team who already picked Kamila Cardoso a few picks before. So now we gotta go through Chicago lol. Either way, Aaliyah is a very good pick, she's from UCONN so we know she's pro ready, we don't doubt her skill. But I feel sometimes, it's not always about X's and O's.

Aces got a squad. The addition of Kate Martin.

I’m sad my sparks blew this . Kamilla and Angel should both be sparks . This was a no brainer . Chicago by far won the draft . To get Kamilla and Angel . That’s rebounding . Defense . Toughness and star power . All that LA needed . Brinks and Jackson are both good but they don’t have that star power imo

I thought that wouldve been an excellent move to have Cardoso at the 5 and Zia Cook getting more playing time at the 1 or 2 spot. The previous chemistry at S.Carolina with those two would translate great in the W....and Reese adding that additional spark (no pun intended), to the floor at a possible 4 position...but Chicago got the picks in that subpar market.

This year's WNBA draft has a special vibe to it. Yeah I know, Caitlin, but it was more than just her. Good vibes all around though.

Reece at Forward with Cordosa at Center! They just need a capable PG with high basket ball iQ amd 2 brilliant shooting guards. 🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯

Anyone excited yet? I live in Phoenix and have 2 games circled already. And I am off work on both 😄those days!

Let's go, Aces!!! We turning up once again. Our roster is impeccable. So much potential, so many great picks. We going 3 for 3 because we're a dynasty!! The league as a whole will get very interesting with all the talent, though. Especially with Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Kamilla Cardoso. This draft class has a lot to offer and will keep growing the league. The W is going to continue to get exciting with years to come. I'm excited for the 2027 Draft Class too.

The biggest winner of the draft is LA . Rickea Jackson is the steal of the draft

LA, CHI, and Dallas having 6/12 picks is crazy imho. Especially when its only 12 teams.

Chi Town is about ready to run for a chip

Rickea making Rocky Top Proud!

this draft class needs the "Slam" magazine photo shoot like the 1996 NBA draft class.

Title says "Winners & Losers"........I waited for the losers but there weren't any. I guess I got sucked in.

Sparks misses out on this one

Great informative sports reporting

I can’t describe what the feeling is but this feels like some anime levels type of shift. Got the Old Regime ie. Taurasi, Candace. The Present Regime ie. Stewart, A’Ja, Ionescu & the Newest Regime ie. Clark,Reese,Cardoso,Brink,etc. Tuning in as soon as it’s May

If they lowered the rim before the season opener, that seasoner opener may even rival NBA playoffs viewership

Unpopular opinion -- LA Sparks won the draft. Rickea Jackson is about to be the best wing player in the league. She didn't get a lot of attention but she's a clutch player who's scoring will free up her teammates. I was sure the Sky were going to take her at #3 but when she fell to the Sparks, LA won the draft hands down. Brink needs to get stronger with the ball and finish better, but the fact that she can shoot the 3 makes her special offensively and she's got great defensive instincts.

IM EXCITED ABOUT CAITLIN, BUT IF I SEE THAT THE TEAM ISNT USING HER AT HER FULL POTENTIAL, I WILL NOT TUNE IN FOR ANY OF THE GAMES.

Media hype. It's been going on forever for this league that no one cares about.

Rikea Jackson is a great player. With her size, speed, and mobility, she is going to be great. The media focused on CC 100% of time, which was unfair. This entire draft class is loaded. The WNBA needs some expansion teams so players don't have to go overseas. The fans have to support all of the teams. Good marketing will bring in revenue and help the WNBA make a profit. Hopefully the starting wage will go up. The starting pay should be 100k. Congrats to the entire 2024 WNBA draft class.❤❤❤❤

I think social media could be the WNBA's biggest asset or downfall. They just have to play it right especially with this new generation of stars coming in who come with their own following.

Brink or Reese for ROY, if Brink doesn't get injured. Highly doubt that in Pro ball, CC will be allowed to take a lot of "Logo 3's". Brink is a work fiend, playing club local Oregon basketball during the collegiate off /Summer season & simply putting in the work. 3 point contests vs Steph Curry & the entire Brink/Curry family dynamic/friendship definitely pushed & helped her. Amazing supportive parents as well. Sadly any of the top 10 stand a high risk of injury obviously in the pros & their expected immediate starting positions. It being an Olympic year, USA no matter what will have a very young & loaded squad. Gold medal caliber. I KNEW Cardoso would go higher than projected #7. However I question her maturity (vs Clark or Brink, & her work ethic.). Cardoso has never made any excuses for her moving to the WNBA as fast as possible, in the best situation, for the $$$$$$ to help her family in Brasil. More power to her 👍🫶. IMHO in 2-3 years, IF her drive stays strong @ the pro level after the big payday, she or Reese (less but same mental maturity issues IMO) will definitely seem like the steal of the draft. I'm very surprised Reese slid to #7 (projected as high as #3) as a 2x NCAA Champion? I understand Cardoso @ #3 due to size, last season & natural ferocity of her game but Reese #7? Clark definitely will set a rookie record for fouls vs. as she's dangerous anyplace past 1/2 Court, either shooting or distributing. Personally given the hype around Paige Buecker out of HS, I'm glad she wasn't in this draft. & Hope 1-2 solid, no injuries seasons will raise both her game & draft status. Luck to all the ladies in this draft. I'd definitely travel to a Sparks game just to watch Brink play. She embarrassed UCLA @ home! I hope they come out with Autographed & Jersey swatch cards & signed memorabilia of this entire draft as a sports memorabilia collector!
