    Then, LaChina Robinson, one of the all time great women’s hoops analysts and announcers (ESPN, NBC, and the Atlanta Dream), joins the show. She shares thoughts on how Angel Reese will impact the Dream alongside players like Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Naz Hillmon, Brionna Jones, and Jordin Canada. Robinson reflects on this year’s draft, the status of the league overall, her Rising Media Stars, and how significant this offseason has been for the WNBA and women's sports generally.

    Azzi Fudd Goes No. 1 on a Historic Night at the 2026 WNBA Draft

    Jordan was on the Orange Carpet for the WNBA’s 30th draft night, the first year in recent memory where there was no clear #1 draft pick. She shares how powerful the energy was last night and how much excitement this draft class brought.

    On draft night, the Dallas Wings, on the clock with #1, picked Azzi Fudd, the “people’s princess.” The crowd at The Shed in NYC erupted with applause. And the UCLA Bruins had a historic night, with six players drafted:

    🏆 #4 Lauren Betts to Washington

    🏆 #5 Gabriela Jaquez to Chicago

    🏆 #6 Kiki Rice to Toronto

    🏆 #9 Angela Dugalic to Washington

    🏆 #15 Gianna Kneepkens to Connecticut

    🏆 #18 Charlisse Leger-Walker to Connecticut

    Dallas had back-to-back #1 picks in ‘25 and ‘26–Paige Bueckers and now Fudd. Jordan discusses with Dallas Wings’ beat reporter Myah Taylor what Fudd adds on and off the court, and what the team will look like this year, with Fudd, Bueckers, veteran Arike Ogunbowale and other Dallas teammates.

    Free agency and re-signings continue fast-and-furious across the league as we head toward training camp and preseason.
