You're listening to DraftKings Network.
What's up? Welcome to Good Follow Show presented by DraftKings. I'm Roz Goldongwede and I am coming to you from our Los Angeles studios. And today we are joined by a very, very special guest near and dear to my heart. OK, she is one of the top voices in women's college basketball and is a host, reporter and analyst for all of women's basketball, including AFL.
NCAA March Madness' digital content. She's a part of ION Studios' WNBA coverage and is even an NCAA tournament bracketologist. How cool is that? My little sis, Autumn Johnson, joins the show. What's up, sis? What's up, sis? Come on, intro. Yes. I mean, it's so impressive, all of the things that you are and how big and powerful your resume is because, you know, you... I'm just so proud of you.
Like you are the epitome of resilience, of hard work paying off, of conviction. And this is what I want to do. I want to be a broadcaster. And also at times building your own table, you know, to take a seat at. And, you know, I remember you early in your career, Autumn, just asking a whole bunch of questions, you know, looking for shadow opportunities.
And so to see where you are now, I truly couldn't be prouder.
Oh my gosh. Thank you, sis. This means the world to me because this is the first time we've been able to work together. And you were one of the first people ever, one of my first mentors, one of the first people that I've been able to shadow. So to be able to have this moment with you, it's incredible. I always know I can hit you up whenever and call my big sis. So I just love it. I love it.
I love sharing the space with you. Thank you, Roz. I'm excited to get into these topics today and talk some hoops.
Oh, you're the best. All the feels. I'm sending you a hug, girl.
I love this. I needed this.

Chapter 2: Can UConn repeat as champions in the upcoming season?
Sometimes it's been about, you know, great perimeter players. Sometimes she's had rosters that have been absolutely stacked with talent and some with like more limited talent. But she found a way to survive. get the most out of everyone and do it by committee. Even last season's run to the championship game was very much like a by committee unit.
And so one of the things that South Carolina has going for them, they have Dawn Staley at the helm. Never bet against Dawn, ever. That part. I will never do it. But you know someone who did through their actions bet against Dawn Staley? Mylasia Fulwiley. Mylasia Fulwiley. She went to LSU. So let's take a look at LSU and Mylasia Fulwiley.
This is one of the biggest storylines in women's college hoops. This is a huge star despite coming off the bench, essentially. This is someone who's been on magazine covers, has gotten a stamp of approval from Stephen Curry. And she's going from South Carolina to LSU from Dawn Staley. She'll be coached by Kim Mulkey. How do you like Mylasia's fit at LSU?
I love it because LSU is Showtime basketball, and my Leisureful Wiley is just that, Showtime basketball. So I think she fits perfectly in this system. Fast, quick. Her handle is lay with the butter. If you know, you know she's smooth. She's explosive. She gets to her spots. And just her layup package overall is so fun to watch.
For me, the question is, how can Mylasia keep that creativity and that composure leading the entire offense? Because Kim Mulkey is going to ask her to be the point guard and play more on the ball. She was off the ball at South Carolina.
So what does that look like for this team with more minutes, more composure, more responsibility and decision making when you think about getting your teammates organized and getting them into the right spots where they're successful? So I think, honestly, this is really good for Malaysia to be challenged and stretch.
But when you pair her with a Flage Johnson and also a Mikayla Williams, easily this is the most explosive offense in college basketball. And I think they can make a pretty deep run if it clicks right away with Malaysia Fulwiley running point.
Right, and I think that was the whole point of coming to LSU is that South Carolina seemingly got really crowded with Raven Johnson coming back for a fifth year and Tanaya Latson joining the team. And not to say that it couldn't have worked for her, but I think the whole goal was she wanted to be a more focal point starter and play at that point guard position.
And that opportunity showed itself at LSU. And I too think like... She had a role that she was really good at, but also maybe it was the only role presented to her where she would come in and change the game with explosive play, explosive speed, really great going to the rim or in transition, just fast break opportunities. That is a very different skill set than having speed.
