    She could be a good complimentary piece for Aliyah Boston and Nalyssa Smith

    I’m hoping the Wings get Sheldon at 5 instead of picking Edwards since we already have 4 bigs on the roster

    If it keeps growing, probably. I read an article last year where profits doubled from 2019-2023. But their CBA is fucked and players only receive about 10% of revenue, meanwhile the NBA players get 51% of revenue. The max salary in the WNBA is $250k. There's a clause where it'll kick to 15% based on growth but that's still dumb low. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a holdout in the next year or two if it keeps growing.

    I don't think that many people (especially those who follow it) expect this. At least not right away.

    I’d like to see KC get one just to team up with the Current. Plus they already have an arena.

    Somewhat agree but I’d rather them go in bigger markets where theres no NBA presence yet

    like they did with Vegas

    as a fan of a team with 6’7” twin towers, you can never underestimate height and size in this league so I see why Chicago chose Cardoso over her
