00:00so miles as you alluded to now 13 wmba franchises the golden state valkyries drafting
00:05fifth overall in their first wmba draft last night following page becker's second overall
00:12to the seattle storm dominique malanga a 6'6 french talent who was the first french woman
00:18to ever dunk in a euro cup game some international upside to say the least as you look at the
00:24entirety of the top half perhaps of this wmba draft class here in 2025 what do you make of the class
00:31overall so this is interesting i think that there's been a narrative kind of building because
00:37some of the biggest names the most recognizable names who had an option to come out this year
00:42in olivia miles az fudd flaujay johnson they opted to come out next year instead so i think that the
00:48group think consensus was that this class might not be as strong i think it's got a ton of depth
00:53obviously the names that you mentioned with page and dominique they're the standard at the top
00:58but more and more roster spots are going to be created over these next few years with these new
01:02expansion teams and more collegiate players will have the chance to make it past those first couple
01:07weeks of training camp which was not always the case so i think that development opportunity is
01:11really going to help showcase that the talent was never the issue it was just the lack of space
01:16so i'm pretty high on not just the the front the front half there but pretty deep back half of the
01:22first round into the second round there were some people that in the industry i thought were projected
01:27to go much higher than they went and that just shows how strong the game is right now
