That was the lit-est press conference of all time!
[WBB] Comments that don't warrant their own thread 2022-??

Shout out to former Monarch Kara Lawson, and congratulations to her for leading the Duke Blue Devils to their first Sweet 16 since 2018.
Apropos of nothing, the new ads the WNBA has released for the upcoming draft are quite brilliant.
America Is Musty
Shout out to South Carolina!

What a debut.

Well, it makes sense in context, but...
It'll just sound weird every time we watch a game and the commentators say "The Golden State Valkyries"...
On the other hand, "Ballhalla" is a viral brand waiting to happen.

Unfortunately, for her and the WNBA, her regular season debut happens to fall on the same day, and at the same time as the Pacers game. Oh, and not to mention...NHL playoffs are on.
I do wish her well, though, and she should be fun to watch as a pro.

Also, for those of you who are keeping track, Lexie Hull is also on the Fever. LOVED watching her play during her Stanford days, and would love to see her find success in the WNBA. Perhaps, pairing her with Clark will allow her game to blossom.

Clark didn’t play particularly well but the formula for big success is there: deep range threes, elite passing and getting to the free throw line. 10 turnovers is bonkers. She’s always good for a couple lazy passes but expect her to get the TOs under control when she develops more chemistry with teammates. Excited for her home debut

You also have to wonder how many of her 10 TOs were due to some degree of nerves playing in her first professional game. She'll be able to get those under control in due time, I think.
On another note...I am not liking that DNP for my former Stanford gal, Lexie (Hull). Here's to hoping she's able to move up a bit on that depth chart as the season progresses so she sees some action...

id say 3 or 4 of them were one passes that would have been clean in college that aren’t there in the pros. She will figure that out soon enough Im sure. They play the Liberty and then the Sun again so she is starting her career off running into a buzz saw.

That's great, but why not the Monarchs?

I would imagine Sacramento would be a candidate for future expansion, as long as an ownership group comes forward and shows enough interest in bringing a team back to the area.
Because Ranadivé is all talk.
As we sit on the eve of the 28th annual WNBA Playoffs, you know what keeps me up at night? The thought that, 50 years from now, my great-grandchildren (assuming I have any) will talk about Ticha Penicheiro and Ruthie Bolton the way that I talk about, like, Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman.
With how many top free agents are expected to be available in 2025, I'm curious to see whether Golden State tries to develop a young team into a dynasty, or whether they push all their chips in and try to win now?
