what a season.

valkyries got whooped by a connecticut team that they should’ve beaten, BUT, that sun young core has a lot of potential, especially on defense. lacan and rivers have the chance to be a really scary defensive duo. sheldon can fit that mold too.

32 by Golden State tonight is the most points the New York Liberty have given up in a first quarter since 2022. #WNBA

my awa fam to golden state agenda might be fading if they keep playing like this

citron and iriafen are looking like the top rookie duo right now, but leite and salaün are not far behind

per the rotation last game, i’m surprised linskens got the last spot over amihere and touré. however, i imagine linskens is the cut if rupert reports after eurobasket.

veronica burton plays hard, but julie vanloo needs to have that starting job by opening night

darn… really thought she was going to make the roster. if you look at the team from potential alone, Sellers was probably top 3-4. I’ve got to imagine that her knee isn’t looking great. but still, I would’ve been in favor of letting her rehab the knee on this roster with their developmental staff.

thanks to sabreena for hanging in there despite my audio technical difficulties

they ended up with my #4 and #5, A+ draft if I do say so myself

if i was in the valks’ draft room, this would be my big board: bueckers malonga citron jocytė sellers iriafen rivers paopao morrow amoore van lith sivka feagin james

@richardcohen.bsky.social thoughts on justė jocytė? I have a sneaky feeling that she’ll be a valkyrie next monday.

janiah barker entering the transfer portal made the most sense to me. i imagine sienna betts’ development is being prioritized, and they both play the same position when lauren is on the floor. londynn jones’ decision was surprising though. where else does a 5’4” guard get more playing time?

watched the girls McDAAG game — jazzy davidson is going to be a star. adding her + a kennedy smith leap and USC will be just fine. can’t wait to watch that trio when juju returns.

with washington now having 3 & 4, it feels likely that malonga gets selected with one of those picks. if that’s the case, i hope azzi declares so the valks could draft her at 5.

wondering who the valkyries might select in the #WNBA 2025 draft? check out this pod! thanks again @sabreenajm.bsky.social

this one should’ve stayed in the drafts

just to get it out there before the league kicks off today: UNRIVALED power rankings 1. phantom 2. mist 3. vinyl 4. lunar owls 5. laces 6. rose

need shyanne sellers in a valkyrie jersey asap

was hoping they’d be able to flip thornton to a team like the sun, lynx, aces, or storm for a draft pick. but nevertheless, we’ll take the champ.

a few things i’m looking for in this #WNBA expansion draft from a valkyries perspective: • any movement with delle donne? • do the lynx protect diamond miller? • do any of the teams trade a draft pick to the valks so they won’t select a certain player?

great chatting with @richardcohen.bsky.social. if you had any questions about the valkyries’ WNBA expansion draft on friday, they were more than likely answered in this pod.

the olivia miles to the valkyries dream may be officially over if it wasn’t already

jack you better not sell this one
