Download MP3
Jasmine Harper and Candace "Ace" Pedraza discuss the aftermath of the 2025 WNBA Draft. The event, which drew in the second-most viewers in WNBA Draft history, was highlighted by the selection of Paige Bueckers No. 1 overall to the Dallas Wings. Harper and Pedraza also speak about best-fits from the draft, the biggest surprise picks to them, and their biggest questions about teams like the Wings, Washington Mystics, and Chicago Sky after their draft picks were made. 

The two also touch on training camp and discuss 6 teams they're most interested to see go through camp. Starting lineup predictions and roster construction are the biggest points of discussion here. The Indiana Fever earn tons of love while the Las Vegas Aces earn some major confusion from both Harper and Pedraza.
