Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft

[CarltonJunior]

I think one of the biggest fumbles (on a subconscious level) was not naming the teams after their NBA counterparts.

Every team should've been named the same as their NBA counterparts (Lady Knicks, Lady Lakers, etc).

Ur bugging if you don't think this would've helped recognition for the WNBA

Even if it means buying you girl a Lady Laker jersey to wear to the men's game with you, it would've helped them to created more parallels with the bigger product

All this does is marginalize them and makes them less independent which is bad for the long term health of the league and women's sports

 

[ReggieFlare]

Silver and the league should tell these tricks to fall back with their comments asap! I'll be shocked if these college stars will help/boost the WNBA's profile.

Taurasi is right in this case tho

I mean, right now Caitlyn is out there balling on folks who are just clearly below her level. She has skills that will absolutely translate to the next level but I imagine the physicality of the WNBA plus what I assume will be more elite defenders and defensive game plans is going to be an adjustment period for her

Nah, this is said from a place of hate because of the hype CC has. No shyt there’s a learning curve, and the obvious is that CC will grow and adjust. These old hags on their 90’s NBA player hate, it’ll be a decade before they give these new girls any type of props.

She didn’t sound like a hater at all in the clip. She said there’s a transition period as a rookie that we all went through and you have to give yourself some grace

 

[#1 pick]

There's potentially millions coming in the next few years, that could impact the league, and the lives of many players, forever. For the WNBA's sake, they better tell these bulldaggers to STFU and fall back.

That won't happen

WNBA overall talent level is trash though, its really not that much better than college. And in college they run much better systems than the WNBA.

Clark gonna shyt on the WNBA

But this is what is done in soccer which is literally the largest sport in the world. It’s not some crazy thing @MasterThought and @T-K-G are saying. Granted, women soccer players seem to only be supported in international tournaments.

That was her cover to not sound like a straight hater. My inside intel on these women shapes my opinion differently, Turasi is a hater and difficult AF from all accounts

Fair enough. I’ve heard similar about her but I just didn’t think that clip was egregious. I also have no idea why she is still playing.

Name recognition, which is part of the reason she’s big mad at the new girls

I am an avid watcher of both leagues. This is simply not true. The WNBA has girls who aren't in the league that should be starters at a pro level. It's way more talent in the WNBA than the NBA on a expectation level. The W just lacks too many teams. Only 12 so everyone got a stud. Every got starters off the bench. The WNBA needs expansion and BAD

Nobody is guarding her out on the perimeter that far, she’ll be ok

Houston sis still plays in the W. I am always shocked I never see him in this threads.
