As a Valkyries season ticket hopeful, very much enjoy your previews of the possible Valkyries roster. Was really hoping that newly retired legendary Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer would be the new Valkyries coach, but no such luck. The owner of the Valkyries also owns Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors and has shown he is not afraid to spend money and wants his teams to be competitive every season (i.e. no "tanking") so we're hoping the Valkyries will soon be a top tier WNBA team.
This is true, but there's a lot of good point guards for them to take, they might be better off getting their wing, forward, or center from us. As a Fever fan, I hope we get to keep Berger which is why they better protect her. Maybe they go get Hailey Van Lith in the draft.
Mock Draft is based about knowing available player. This is a personal opinion/speculation based on the possibility of certain players being available. 1-5 are predictable. 6-12 open for discussion based on contract., age and role ..,etc . His sole purpose is to keep the WNBA relative in the off season . He is establishing himself as having a knowledgeable voice/expert in women’s professional basketball . Therefore it’s not a waste of time !! As ,always my personal thing
That's kind of unfair if a team has an exempt player, that should have to count as one of their protected picks. They essentially get to protect an extra slot which could be huge strategy wise for this draft.
Big Dorka fan. Much as I want her to stay in MN and get a chip, I also want to see her play. Rookie year was fun. Last year was barely off the bench due to everyone healthy. She is an exceptional passing big from the high set. So, kind of hoping she is available for Golden State.
Concerning the Fever .. being a WNBA newbie, or collegiate for that matter .. re-watching the Big Ten championship from '22 .. the Hoosiers against the Hawkeyes. Grace Burger (Hoosier) had a heck of a game. Commanding guard presence, she had around 20 points, I believe, .. she then fouled out. I don't see anything wrong in hanging onto Grace, .. Caitlin's great, but Grace along with Kelsey, and Lexie .. they'd always have fresh horses, so to speak, in the backcourt. That could be dynamite.
Li yueru did not resign with the sparks more than likely she wants to play for another franchise (maybe wings ),victoria vivians is an assistant coach with mississippi state
Thank you for your details. However, I wonder who would watch this whole video. I skipped through to the end, out of respect for you. But I am impressed that you produced this whole thing - so I, typing away to help your youtube numbers. I cant wait for another CC seaason with you reporting on the madness!
Logo needs much work, and it’s not a league until there’s a Philadelphia squad to hate on. Also should’ve been the San Francisco Valkyrie Other than that, good luck ladies
They get 3 draft picks I think plus the 12 possible players from other teams so they have to drop some of them or not choose from all teams. I’m so curious to see how the expansion draft goes
I picture these people running so many different schemas to figure out which players match up the best, though now i wish i had listened to their new coach to better determine how she envisions their team. Seems like an awfully lot of variables to consider.
First thing she said was defense, second was fun and fast. I think they’ll be a free agent destination because they seem like an organization that is going to go for it and will treat their players right.
Damn well she falling to 5. I don't know someone can know the league and cannot tell me Kiki is going to drop to 5? Mick come on. You know she's the obvious choice at 2
@davidmckenzie1695 LA needs a PG not a PF. If Olivia Miles keeps playing the way she has been, aside from her game against TCU, LA could take her in the draft over Kiki. If Kiki does drop to 5 and GS picks her up, she could be a solid piece to build around
I can’t wait to see the first five games of the Fever. Basically two of the best guards to ever play the game. Now the Fever is going to have three bigs, all of which who are killer players, AB,Lexie, and Temi. I know many are going to say “Temi is old - she’ll be 33 I think - she’s going to be accident prone ie. injured “ Sorry Temi is fine now. With Boston, and Hull no team would be dumb enough to get physical. CC is not going to see many Flagrants or even common fouls in 2025. I assume Temi center, Alayah ,and Lexie forwards,and of course the Splash Sisters point guards, and possibly everything else ?
@ true but the physicality in the way she plays is more like forward. She’s just slightly taller than CC a little more weight ie. shooting guard opposed to point like Caitlin. Kelz I think is only 5’8” or 9”. CC 6 ft 150 lbs point guards . I think Alayah is 6’3” ,and Temi I know is 6’4” and 175-180 lbs. if you’re a man it’s hard to get your head around the size of women playing in the W - NBA opposed to NBA. If NBA the entire Fever team would be point or shooting guards …
So after all the hype and fuss, the Fever may core NyLissa. If they do, let's hear no more complaints about NyLissa. It'll just sound like more hype. And if Izzy isn't coming to the Fever, hope she goes to the Valkyrie and gets out of Sky country.
Yes that’s how these videos work. He’s just using the info he has to make guesses. I’m curious how wrong he ends up being. Maybe he gets them all right somehow.
You have no idea how good she used to be, do you? There’s a reason she’s on a max contract until the end of the 2025 season. I can see a team taking a chance on her especially knowing she is such a highly paid player and they can get her free.
I just hope Grace Berger gets to play wherever she ends up. She was underutilized this past season.

I wish the Valkyries well . . . just not against the Fever.
Valkyries need a point guard. They will probably take Wheeler or Berger from the Fever. A decent PG makes the whole team better.

Not worth doing a mock draft UNTIL teams make their protected players list final.
Very true, it's just extreme speculation
@@adriane7841 the list were finalized last week. The draft is this friday, they are not making the lists public.
Agreed way too early and sloppy.

I saw a Valkyries shirt in Chicago 2 weeks ago.

The Valkyries has already sold 15,000 season tickets ❤❤❤.
15,000 deposits. But I’m sure a lot will end up buying the tickets
I have no doubts the Valkyries will be a success out in the Bay Area. They supported the Warriors during some lean years back in the 2000s.
Valkaries just might snatch Haley van lith from the draft as their 5th pick
Hmmm. If she keeps playing so well this season she may go top 4. That’s debatable of course, and it depends what each team needs
I wouldnt mind it…i just want us to suck for a few more years so we can get Juju in the draft
It's very possible, I hope they run that strategy so they don't take Grace Berger from us.
@@Jayydubss You don't want Juju, highly overrated! You should try to get Zhang Ziyu from China in 2028.
I'm taking the big girl at TCU (Sedona Prince) and not HVL. Maybe HVL is available at #17. #5 is way too high for HVL.

I watched it
@@ericMT Thats great!
Katie, NO WAY her contract is /big.
Love women hoops beautiful ballers deserve more respect ❤
Logo needs much work, and it’s not a league until there’s a Philadelphia squad to hate on. Also should’ve been the San Francisco Valkyrie
Other than that, good luck ladies
They’re taking Grace Berger from the Indiana fever.
Can Elena Delle Donne be taken or does she have some weird core thing that makes her protected even if she isn’t protected?
Hope marine johannes for valkyrie
Yeah that would be fire offensively she's so crazy
Golden State doesn't HAVE to take a player from each team. However, I guess the only other option, outside of their draft ick, would be Europe.

Dude you called Mack kinda old and she’s only 25😭 and Rachel is older than her
Liberty protected Thornton
I have not seen a draft board with Kiki falling to 5.
Damn well she falling to 5. I don't know someone can know the league and cannot tell me Kiki is going to drop to 5? Mick come on. You know she's the obvious choice at 2

Hull's not that big.

NaLyssa is too good to give up for free. Fever will see if new coach can improve her play before trading her.
@@sp123 and too toxic to not get rid of anyway possible before the season starts.
They need to core her even if they plan to replace her. Too valuable as trade bait.
@@kurtjohnson4816 they can't core her she is not a free agent If you mean protect her for the expansion draft that is not the same as a core.
We need Katie she is the one who grabs Caitlin and keeps her out of trouble.
well Caitlin is just gonna have to grow up in season 2. This is not daycare, it shouldn't be anyone's job to babysit a grown woman with anger issues
@@DeDon201 genius are always high strung. Thank you for your Commet though.
First! 🎉
"predicting" the team, meaning getting his facts out of hi @$$
Predicting is guessing what a team would do. Nothing about facts. Just an opinion. You should get your head out of your @$$.
Yes that’s how these videos work. He’s just using the info he has to make guesses. I’m curious how wrong he ends up being. Maybe he gets them all right somehow.
No one cares!!! We only care about CLARK
Some of us care about other stuff than CC. She is obviously the favorite but not the only player in the world.
@ ok Mr 10%
Two hands on it
Clearly, the brother that you are listening too? Does! You never representing Kaitlyn Clark very well or yourself! Grow up happy holidays! Dead ass
This is a channel for all women’s basketball players. Don’t watch the videos if CC isn’t in the title.
Stop Mick, this was wishful thinking from you. You know they won’t take Katie Lou. The fever are stuck with her.
She just had a baby hoping she will be better this year
I think Katie Lou is motivated to return to top form this off season and be ready to contribute next season.
@@scotthamp8540 i will let the fever find out about that. i am taking berger if i am golden state.
