Draft Day with Monica McNutt + WNBA Free Agency Living Up To Hype

It’s Draft Day! Jordan walks us through the biggest free agency moves before tonight’s historic event. Then, Jordan talks to the inimitable Monica McNutt on team dynamics, draft strategy, which teams need tonight to go their way, and how free agency across the league is impacting their likely picks. 

Today’s major signings across the league:

🟩Brittney Griner to the Connecticut Sun 

🟩Satou Sabally to the New York Liberty

🟩Skylar Diggins to the Chicago Sky

🟩Gabby Williams to the Golden State Valkyries 

Plus, all the deals in between: Kelsey Plum’s $999,999 contract, Kelsey Mitchell signing a supermax to stay in Indiana and the Toronto Tempo’s max deals to Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes. 

Jordan closes with two wins today. The Chicago Sky may have finally built the roster Angel Reese had been asking for. And the Toronto Tempo made major moves in free agency this weekend. 

Tune in tomorrow as Jordan unpacks tonight’s draft picks, more free agency signings, and what it all means for the W as we head toward tip off.
