a look at ✨THE FASHION✨ of the evening: https://twitter.com/WNBA/status/1645540204701274114

Zia Cooke's dress is my favorite. just wouldn't have expected her to wear something like that, with a great hairstyle to go along with it. love it!!

my least favorite? can't even lie, it's Engelbert's. those pixel-pattern dresses ain't it, took my eyes several seconds to process it lmao.


not a lot of stand-outs or otherwise imo, everyone else just looks ~*good*~

The fashion overall is hugely improved from the bank teller chic that was the predominant style for so many years. Even the B10 girls don't look frumpy.

I'm going to be honest, this 2023 WNBA Draft is full of bench players and those who will get a hi and bye at training camp other then Boston.

i mean that's not exactly an unpopular opinion, but like damn, let 'em get drafted first before you write 'em off?

now more than ever these days, it really depends on who goes where & the player-team fit of it all

i think the #2 pick if it's Miller/Jones and the #4 pick if it's a SF have a good shot

also since Dallas & Indiana have new coaches, the #3, #5, and #7 could if the new coaches like their picks enough

again, fit will be important

real quick, herhoopstats took 18 mock drafts and ranked who went highest on each of them: https://twitter.com/herhoopstats/status/1645519959747952662

Boston, Miller, Horston, Siegrist, Jones, Soares were the Top-6 in that order

Indiana didn't mess up the #1 pick by picking Boston, but the night is young

I'm so accustomed to the Fever throwing draft day curves I halfway expected them to go elsewhere at #1

ESPN going to the commercial break in between announcing the #1 consensus pick and the #2 not-all-that-consensus pick is why they're hemorrhaging money & about to enact mass layoffs tbQh

I would not be surprised if Indiana trades N.Smith before the season starts.

With the addition of Boston, Smith's minutes/production is going to drop...Trading Smith for young talent, 2024 1st rd pk or SDS would be smart...It doesn't have to be a straight-up trade, a multi-team team trade would also be an option.
