Hey, what's up, everyone? Welcome to Good Follow, presented by DraftKings. I'm Roz Goldonwude. That's my girl, Logan Hackett. Logan, what's going on? How are you? I'm great. How are you? Girl, I'm good. I can't believe it's April already. Can you? Where's the time going?
Right. I was just looking at the calendar and the fact that training camp starts like next week, I think Sunday, the 27th, whenever that is. It's too quick. Everything is so fastly approaching.
We got a great show for y'all today. These are the topics we'll be discussing. The WNBA draft, obviously. Paige Beckers and her fit in Dallas. And literally, Paige's fashion fit at the draft, plus all the different looks and fashion and fit that came out of the draft. We take a look at the WNBA's sparkly new Rivals Week and which matchups we like more or less. And whether or not Unrivaled is putting more pressure on the WNBA with their lucrative contracts. And we continue to update you on the college transfer portal, including the underclassmen mass exodus out of UCLA. Plus, we also have an exclusive sit-down interview with Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White. And she takes us through the entire roster, including her vision for Kaitlyn Clark in year two. So big show, Logan.
Huge. I'm so excited. But y'all, as always, thank you so much for subscribing, commenting, liking, pressing all the buttons, following us. And new episodes drop every Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern. So y'all better tap in. Rozzy, ready?
Ready to go.
Could Paige Bueckers become the new face of basketball in Dallas?
Alrighty. Well, as we all expected, Paige went number one in the WNBA draft on Monday night. And though we knew it was going to happen, it was still bittersweet and Dallas is welcoming her with open arms. But if you kind of think of the state of basketball in Dallas, it's quite up in the air right now. I mean, fans are still upset that they lost Luca. They don't really have a star, a top tier face of basketball. So do you think that Paige could be the new face of basketball in Dallas?
I think it's a super exciting time right now in Dallas, getting Paige Beckers, getting the number one overall draft pick. It's hard for me to say that Paige suddenly becomes the face of basketball in Dallas when Arike Ogumbawale is on that team and heading into her seventh season there. And you also got Dejanay Carrington. I mean, these are full-blown stars on this team. And I also think, like, there might be a natural transition period or adjustment period. Being a guard in the WNBA is hard. Paige is built, wiry, and defenders are bigger, stronger, faster. My question is, can Paige keep up her efficiency as a shooter? I know that was something she was always obsessed with and loved. But her shooting ability will create spacing.
I think she's going to eat off of the spacing created for her by Arike Ogunbowale. And I also think Dallas now has so much wing depth, because it's not just Paige Beckers or Arike. They also added Aziah James, which is a great guard player out of the collegiate side. You have Ty Harris. You have Dijanae Carrington on the wing. And I think that'll be big for Arike, who played the most minutes in the league last season, 38.6 minutes per game or something like that. My girl can have a chance to rest, which might be beautiful for the rest of the team. So that depth is exciting. But as far as Paige, she's so likable. She's easily marketable. Her teammates are welcoming her with open arms. Look at all the tweets from Arike, everything. She's got a fan base that'll come with her. And I just think her lighthearted and personality and her being a great human and great teammate, which we've seen her demonstrate over the years, will be very welcome in a Dallas locker room that has a lot of new faces, a new coach. It's a new era. So I think it'll help everything mesh.
I actually just saw a tweet from Arike right before we started filming, and I think it was something around, God takes you through the lows so you can come out on the other side, and Paige is our other side. Like, we're really together as a team and getting Paige with the cherry on top.
