I’m getting over being sick, so if I sound a little off, that should explain why lol
Also: One thing I forgot to mention in the video is Janelle Salaün will play for Schio in the Italian league (also EuroLeague as well) next season. Their season doesn’t run as long as LFB aka the French league, which will make it easier for her to come to the W if she so chooses.
Anyways, thanks for the support as always!

1. Dijon Carrington had a strong case for All-Star ESPECIALLY when you consider how many players Indy had compared to Connecticut who was 2nd place at the break.
2. I always feel like the class was never given a chance. Didi has shown her defensive skills and New York could've used her last year. Dijonai has proven to be one of the best defenders in the league. Maybe I'm tripping but I feel like Dallas didn't give Charli a chance at all but I could be wrong because she isn't on any team for that matter.
Good video though!
Really appreciate finding this channel. Got into the league this year and I kept only finding videos being nasty about profitability or why they “suck” as athletes. Great and insightful analysis from this channel!
is Saluan related tp the TJ that got drafted this year
same question for rupert is she related to ryan
Is this the worst draft of any sport ever. Good god
Kysre never got a fair chance.
It has to suck to have 3 of the top 5 picks in the worst draft, instead of 2024
You need to update your views on Michaela!!!!! Have you not seen her tis past 2 wks???? Her role in Chicago is pivotal!!!!!
Why would they Draft Paige when McDonald cooked Paige in Final Four and Paige can’t stay on the Floor?? All McDonald needs is minutes likes she’s been getting! She had an 8 game stretch of 13ppg 5Ast 4Rebs! The Coaching of the League is ruining young stars! Their style is out dated!
This is the content that will have your page with tons of subs in the next year… Great video
Helps ppl learn the players as well
Also… this draft was CHEEKS ..
ngll u should redraft 2019 draft class
Chelsea Dungee didn't get a fair shake with Dallas. She was a walking bucket that was unconscious when she was hot. Maybe it's that Dallas organization. They took Charli Collier 1st overall in the same draft. The 2 guard for Dallas is a ball hog. How can anyone else thrive
Hunter, I really enjoyed the video. Wow, 2021 draft was a real crapshoot. Probably won't happen but Arike for Carrington plus one or two first round picks makes sense to me. Dallas could use another perimeter defender and Connecticut needs offense to try to win a championship this year as they have a small window. I may be wrong, but I thought Dallas picked Dana Evans at 13 and then traded her to Chicago. The only reason I remember is that I was concerned when Dallas let her go but kept the guard from Arkansas based on training camp and preseason game performance. And ofcourse Evans has been solid and the guard they kept hardly played. Thanks again and look forward to your next video.
do you think the 4th year is usually a good marker if someone sticks in the W?
This should have been a Youtube Short, LMAO.
