Golden State Valkyries Expansion Draft Preview: Why it's hard to know what to expect | WNBA Podcast

Locked On Women's Basketball – Daily Podcast On The WNBA

Host Jackie Powell is joined by women’s basketball broadcaster and analyst Maria Marino where the two break down all that you need to know and consider prior to Friday night’s Golden State Valkyries Expansion draft, the first expansion draft the WNBA has held in 16 years. First the pair goes over what the purpose of the draft is along with its rules, and later the two discuss potential player movement and trade prospects for different teams across the league including the Minnesota Lynx, New York Liberty and Indiana Fever. And finally, Jackie and Maria break down the reasons why there are so many unknowns about this year’s expansion draft and why it hasn’t been made public which players teams have protected from being selected.
