People thought David Robinson and Tim Duncan was a bad idea....Reese and Cardoso will be just fine together.

Chicago won hands down

Cardoso and Reese will fill the paint, ain't NOTHING coming in there when THOSE two are in the game together.

I think Reese and Kamilla will play great together - they have shooters on that team. They can play a high low - Kamilla can hit that midrange

Clark and Boston, Brink and Jackson, Cardoso and Reese, Juhaz and Miller, Edwards and Austin, wow, this season is gonna be one of the best ever, so many iconic young duos to join the vets

If Cardoso can play with Boston to the tune of 60+-0, a national championship , 2 final 4 appearances!!! she can play with Angel,

I like Reese and Cardosa together. They BOTH need to work on their jumps shots tho. They should work well on the bounds

Angel, Reese and kamilla will be on the court together. They don’t play the same position. Angel is better at the for

I think Cardoso has great upside. She actually has a decent midrange shot with nice form. I wish she would take it more. I also believe single coverage and better spacing in the W is going to prove that Cardoso is likely going to be a better pro than she was in college.

Spark really won in both picks The sky really made solid pick, but if both Reese and Kamila develop the 8 foot jumper, and 3s it gonna be scary good

There were three winners in the 2024 WNBA Draft... The Indiana Fever, the Chicago Sky, and the LA Sparks-I gave each team a grade of A+ because Caitlin Clark, Kamilla Cardoso & Angel Reese, and Cameron Brink & Rickea Jackson are going to teams with outstanding coaches; but most important, teams with great player development. As for playing Angel and Cardoso on the floor at the same time...you can just posted them up on the opposite of the paint, which would leave the other to clean-up each other's or their teammates misses; trust me coach T-spoon will figure it out!

Marina Mabrey is a volume shooter and with Copper gone to Phoenix, they need someone to grab all those REBs. Cardoso and Reese will definitely make an impact in year one even if their offensive games are behind in the beginning. The #1 winner is the Fever of course, because they got the generational prospect!

Kamilla definitely got more upside than Cameron

Next year is an expansion team year. Doesnt the Bay Area team get the number 1 draft pick?

Good recap of the draft. Agree that Chicago could have done better. I don’t see Cardozo and Reese as a god fit either! However, Reese’s shooting will improve with a good shooting coach.

Newsflash Angel Reese might end up playing the 3. Her and Cardoso will be fine together.

Nika was a steal

The sky also need publicity, marketing and fans and Angel Reese gonna help them with that to

People say they needed Sheldon for 3pt shooting. My issue with the Dallas/Sheldon pick is the Wings have Lou Lopez Senechal (which sat out 2023 due to surgery after the NCAA season) who shot 44% from the 3pt line at Uconn. Sheldon shot 37% from the 3pt line at Ohio St. Now Sheldon is arguably the better defensive player and has fewer injury issues. But we know Uconn players usually translate well to the WNBA. My other issue is this draft was very good on guards (including Sheldon's teammate Taylor) with only a few elite forwards. In fact after Reese the next 7 players taken were all Guards, including Dallas's second pick. Knowing there is a drop off at forward I would have taken Edwards at 5 (while Reese might have more theoretical potential, Edwards's Uconn background and offensive game has less risk than Reese and again Uconn players typically translate their game well to the WNBA).. Yes they have several 6'6+ players but they are mostly 5s they could use an athletic player like Edwards that can hit from 15-19' (that has zero injury history). I think the Mystics likely felt like they won when Edwards was still there, they still got Kaylynne Truong in the 2nd, and they had lacked a real 4 position player to play alongside Austin and Della Done (who despite her size has the skill set of point-forward and is even more effective when playing the 3) .

It's all on Reese. Cardoso is going to get hers. Teams packed it in against South Carolina. How did that workout? All Chicago did was follow South Carolina blueprint. Bangers downlow and get the best shooters you can outside.

Dallas taking Jacy Sheldon over Aaliyah Edwards was smart by Dallas. Sheldon is a better player, more likely to be a significant WNBA player long-term because she can run, shoot, dribble, pass, and play defense as a point guard. With a little improvement at each, she'll be a keeper. Edwards can't shoot or dribble much, but is a good athlete. If Edwards can become a decent shooter, she can be very useful, but she is so bad at distance control that I am skeptical. With no jumper and not a serious dribbler, Edwards won't do much.

Nika and Edwards were picked so all is right with the world.🙂

Bro your review is hilariously funny but so on point thought. Yes the Fever are the Queens of tanking. it's so blatant it should be made illegal🤣 Some of the picks were puzzling based on the teams current roster like Chicago, and the Dallas Wings.

see this person knows their x's and o's when it comes to the wnba....angel and kardosa going to be tricky but it also may be fine since (don't sleep on them defensively), mabrey is a gem i really feel like is special when i saw her in dallas she had nice all around game and i really hoping she found a home in chicago...in terms of coaching i think angel benefited going to chicago plus angel can be glue/vocal in chicago...but in terms of workload, roster and adjusting i feel like angel playing with collier and mcbride would have done wonders for her since she can be a dennis rodman there and then evolve from there on....but lynx got a really interesting fluid offensive setup with the women from utah going there so we shall see how all the picks pan out (they can be traded or just leave for a better destination)

I think Brink and Jackson will do better together than Cardoso and Reese also.

And Charisma has arguably the best chance to cement her spot. That franchise badly needs a good big defensive guard

Vegas are the biggest winners to me because they and both Fair and Kitley. Granted Kitley will miss this season but for the champs to get these two is wild.

it wasn’t even her draft but Paige Bueckers stole the show 🔥😍

I would also say that while the Indiana Fever were the winners, they also lost by not drafting Kate Martin earlier. Aces made a huge gamble move on taking Kate Martin

New Fan of WNBA here and 1st time vewer here. I enjoyed your commentary. Although one thing I wished you would’ve mentioned and I don’t see it mentioned alot at all anywhere is Nika Mühl. I Honestly believe she’s overlooked. I think alot of these Draft video’s look strictly at numbers, and thats good and fine, but there alot of areas beyond numbers to Carefully Examine Factors of Athletes and their Abilities beyond just the numbers game. Im a long time coach of Youth and Highschool Baseball, yeah a different game, but Ive Drafted alot of Talent for Teams and Im just saying Respectfully, theres alot of other methods for Rating an Athlete. As for Nika Mühl, She is in my opinion The Best Defensive Player out of The Colleges. She single handedly Kept Uconn in The game against my Hawkeyes, and My Fave Caitlin Clark, My Alma mater. Nika was on Caitlin like Gorilla Glue taking Caitlins Impact almost entirely out of that game. Nika can also shoot well, Pass well, Rebound well , and Assist. Her Energy level is Relentless and Stays Consistent thruout the game when others are worn to their cores. As for Nika’s numbers, well she can certainly shoot 3’s when needed, or shoot underneath well too. She coulve easily had a much higher PPG. Anyone can Go Back watch all her college games as Ive done. The Reason she passed alot in her career was spreading the Ball around to other Teammates, including Bueckers. Nika is not an offensive Ball hog, shes a Real Team player, with Great Hands, great Vision and a Tireless Fire and work ethic, and Tenacious Defensive skills. And again, Respectfully just one opinion here, from a Hawkeye and CC Fan, Paying it forward to a Great rival School Player that Desrves better recognition. She will Impact the WNBA and I’ll be cheering for her. Respect to you sir and everyone here for the open Door of Opinions. Thank you.

Did you see the two Arizona players getting picked in the second round? I didn't get that. Arizona was the last team in in the tournament, primarily because of Jada Williams. What was I missing?

I don’t think the sky will play Cardoso and Reece together. Reece will be coming off the bench

Indiana also acquired Katie Lou Samuelson from the LA Sparks. I look for Katie Lou to have a bigger impact in Indiana than she did in LA.

Dude u got that wrong go check out LSU when they put rasario at the 5 and Reese at the 4 ... Strong defense that set up there offense

Any team that takes Kiki Iriafen over Paige Bueckers is insane. Paige will be close to leading the league in scoring. She's Diana Taurasi. Kiki is a good athlete and prospect, but she has a long way to go as a baller, and as an inside player isn't that big. She'll need to become a full baller to be a star, as in running the court dribbling and finshing, and shooting from everywhere; she only has a decent mid-range shot, a few low-post moves, but not much of a dribbler. Paige is a ready-made star with that jumper, dribbling and passing.

Angel & Cardoso will be fine. Angel gets to go back to her natural Wing spot, instead of playing 4 & 5 for lsu. She's 2 years behind in her overall game because of it. Still, when you specialize in offensive boards & defensive stops, any coach is glad to have you because those kinda high motor players are rare finds. Coming out averaging over 20pts & 10rebs for her senior season, playing outta position, says a lot about her willingness to do the dirty work, if it means winning. That's all any coach can ask for from any player. You trade up to get those players because she has 3 guaranteed years to earn the 4th year team option thru her development; same with Cardoso. That's 2 defensive minded & rebound oriented young core pieces, who need & want to be coached up. Spoon will love'em because they got that DAWG in'em, hidden behind a smile.

Two of the previous National Champions is a great look. The powerhouse of Chicago Sky is coming. So much for thinking Reese would drop in the draft huh? The sky got two beasts in the paint, and like Cardoso said, good luck getting any rebounds m against them. Their guards better come correct & feed the beasts! ❤️

Is it me or was the WNBA "symbolic" draft boring this year. I feel like the set up was off. I didn't like Dawn Staley and Lisa Blouter being seated off the floor. Also did the WNBA go too small. Caitlin mania was pretty evident in January. I understand New York is the media capital, but could they have held it in a larger venue and in Vegas or at least a larger one in New York. Was Lisa Leslie there? I love seeing her and Dawn Staley interact. Has the W ever had fans and legends announce picks like they've done in the NFL?

Liberty are a winner for me. Most complete team.

If you played the best NBA players against the best WNBA players, how would that work out.

reese and cardoso could be great duo if they can both develop their games but I cannot for the life of me understand what chicago is doing. why would they swap their 1st round pick for 2026 when they’re clearly still rebuilding. now they gave up potentially a top 5 pick in a loaded draft in 2026 (possibly the 1st overall pick if they’re still mediocre to bad the next two seasons) and also gave up their 2nd round pick in a great 2025 draft so they have no picks next year and no 1st round pick in 2026. now they can only be hoping to get someone big in free agency and then have to play the cap space game after just clearing their books…they also picked both cardoso and reese over rickea who is probably the 2nd best scorer in the draft? i’m just so confused on what they’re doing. baffling draft for them

Chicago as a loser with Cardoso and Reese is ... an opinion.

Here is a case where HE knows what a team should have done more than the teams who actually drafted the players. Listen to what he said "Cardoso and Reese won't be able to play together because neither can shoot, and they won't have room on the court"....what? Reese avg 18.6 and 13.4 reb on 47.6 pct shooting this season at LSU and Cardoso avg 14.9 and 9.7 reb on 59% shooting for SC, so they can't do that in the pros? Cardoso is a center and Reese PF. You are underestimating Reese. Obviously, the Sky will play inside out and surround them with shooters. He claims Brink is multi-faceted and Jackson is a scorer for LA...OK let's see how that will transform the Sparks. Regarding Clark to the Fever, yea the ratings will be high, but the results in wins and losses are what counts. Not one mention of her defensive shortcomings in dealing with WNBA guards. Listening to the Sky Coach and General Manager, they know exactly what they are doing.

Mention Angel and you'll get content...😂😂😂😂 AR5! Bookmarking

The NBA needs to step in now with an influx of cash. Only half of these players that were drafted last night will ever play. The idea that a player might need a little bit more development means they'll be cut . The excitement is there , there are college rivalries that people want to see play out in the pros. That just won't happen under the current system. It is pathetic that they draft players knowing they don't have spots for them.

No chicago is biggest winner!! Believe me

Reese and Cordoso won in the draft.

I agree. I can't see Cardoso and Reese working out, but I'm excited to see it play out.

Paige didn’t stay for another year to be 2nd pick.

Dallas doesn't know what they're doing, their roster just doesn't make sense going forward.

Huge womens hoops fans and this is by FAR the best analysis I hav3 seen. Kudos!!

It’s apparent you haven’t seen Reese’s high school videos. She has a great midrange shot. She was the #1 Wing recruit out of high school. She is actually a perimeter player that played as a big because LSU didn’t have good bigs. The Cardosa-Reese tandem is deadly.

Don’t agree with the reasons for the Loser tag on the Wings draft. You site the fact that Howard and Sabaly are unrestricted free agents next year. This draft is for help this year and Edwards or Reese would not start over either this year. Additionally you go back to year before last in the Sun playoff series (which they lost) to talk about post play need without mentioning that they advanced last year to the semis where guard play was the primary issue in them not advancing. Lastly you mention Lou Lopez who they drafted last year being able to play this season but not Stephanie Soars - a good young big.

it's amazing that we're all talking about a WNBA draft.. CC has brought us all together

Reese and Cardoso can absolutely work together like Reese did with L. Williams.

Cardoso and Resse will be great together

All's well and good with Clark and Boston, but please don't "sleep on" NaLyssa Smith with the Fever, she's dangerous! I'm SO happy for Jacey Sheldon!!! Great win for Dallas!

Calling the Sky losers is a bad take in my opinion. Rickea will play PF or SF chicago needed sa actual 5

Cardoso and Reese can work.. just not this year. The Sky will be the lowest scoring team in the league. Under 13 wins..

Let me tell you something Theresa Weatherspoon knows what she's doing, she was a beast as a player, and will be a beast as a coach trust me, Cordosa and Reese will be fine, yall are so negative, and want too see these females go against each other, but like T spoon said they are going to work together, she doesn't play

Lol Chicago gone clobber alot of teams ,defense wins titles 😂😂😂😂

Yes ANGEL AND CARDOSO GOING TO WIN!!!

Sky chose Reese she is a self promotional and will fire the team.

Dude don't hate on these two ladies!! Angle has been working on her outside shots. Both of these players will be good together.

I disagree that Chicago was a bit of a loser in this draft. They have drafted the two best rebounders in the draft. Angel can now play the 4, her natural position. Kamilla, at 6'7" will be one of the tallest players in the W, and at 6'7" is very fast and quick, a combination many players at that height don't have. Add the fact, like Angel, she still is learning and is not the complete package yet, but is probably even more raw if a talent than Angel. She sprints down the court faster than many guards. Both are great shot blockers and defenders, rebounders and can score inside efficiently. Both do need work on their post moves and jumpshots though, moreso angel than Kamilla (didn't really see Kamilla attempt many Middy's and 3's). Many teams in the W have at least 2 good bugs, and now Chicago can battle nightly with the best of them. I think Chicago had the best draft, but Indiana and LA both had great drafts as well, moreso LA. Vegas also sneakily had a good draft.

I thought we saw the strength of UConn yesterday. They can get anyone drafted. I hope recruits will consider that.

Don't hate me. Don't love me.

Caitlin Clark hasn’t won shit and looked like crap against UCONN and Raven Johnson but it’s an automatic A grade from you. However, the two women who stopped her from winning, you have questions about the draft pics. No one can tell me race and racism isn’t a major factor behind Clark mania.

LA and Indiana winners. Seattle and Dallas losers.

Lmao another video where your wrong again about Angel. She’s the 2nd best player in this draft.

man you dont know basketball. reese and cordaso will be played like david robinson and tim duncan DID WITH THE SPURS. tspoon is a defensive mined coach she has it all figured out that's WHY SHE DRAFTED BOTH

Osborne never squares up to the basket on her shot very inconsistent shooter. Not sure how you label a player who cannot shoot a five footer a potential super star, only in the WNBA.

Not impressed with Reese . Many of her rebounds are off her own shots. She has multiple areas of improvement and too many distractions. If she chooses basketball over the extra curriculars she can be very good. A template for a great player is Clark. Has a social media presence. Celebrates her teammates and her idols. That’s it.

the first two girls never won when it counted point blank so you can think playing is all about offense the 1,2,4 picks will be garbage on defense brick 100 lbs soaking wet she will get handled in the post

U don't know basketball buddy

Dumb

Sparks got 2 of top 3 in draft. Insane.
