THE sweetest

In some ways, I'm thankful she went fourth. If the Valkyries had a chance to pick her and they didn't, I'm not sure I could get past it. Season tickets and a bunch of purple clothes and shows would go down the drain 😅

Do you see any chance Kiki falls to the Valkyries?

Timely article. Wish you were there in person to witness it.

Exactly! The one that really blew my mind is when some were saying she has no motor. Clearly they aren't watching her games work and/or they don't know what having a motor means! She is all hustle.

I am really hoping she gets drafted by GS 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Loved you asking questions specific to Kiki and her transition from Stanford during the press conference. I don't think that's really been discussed this season. It's usually the narrative around what she hasn't done. Thank you for shining a light on a different and important part of the story.

*most kicks down in her -> most kicks down on her

5. She's having worse season this year despite still averaging 18.2ppg and 8.3rpg: Idk, but maybe--just maybe--playing with Juju is a major adjustment. It's also a completely different offense, coaching staff, etc. I guess there is no adjustment period allowed.

Okay, rant over 😅

4. Not a rim protector: fair point, but she can defend very well in other aspects (moved well, quick feet, long wingspan). Does that not count?

5. Being too passive: while I wish she would shoot more, it's hard when she doesn't get the ball consistently. She can't help that.

3. Subpar shooter: She may not shoot a lot of 3s, but last I checked most NBA scouts say the ability to shoot FTs (83%) well is a positive indicator that someone can develop into a 3pt shooter. Does that not apply? 🤔

1. Mocks: I'd LOVE for her to drop to the Valkyries. Dream scenario. I will say if she's available and they don't take her, I'll be selling my season tickets. Unforgivable 😅

2. Transferred to avoid being the #1 option: are you kidding me? I think being willing to cede the spotlight is selfless 🤷🏻‍♀️
