In this clip from Podhalla — the Golden State Valkyries podcast on BSPN — Garrett and Brian Gonzales react to ESPN's 2026 WNBA Top 50 player rankings and make the case that the Golden State Valkyries got disrespected.
Gabby Williams, the Valkyries' leading scorer and a 2026 WNBA All-Star Game starter, checks in at just No. 26 — while Veronica Burton lands at No. 35, four spots behind Carla Leite, her own backup on last year's Valkyries roster before Leite was taken by Portland in the expansion draft. Garrett and Brian break down why an All-Star starter should be ranked higher, argue Burton's two-way game deserves more credit than ESPN gave her, and call out a handful of players slotted above the Valkyries duo who haven't had the kind of seasons that justify it.
