Valkyrie expansion draft: rules and speculation

[MrDollarBills]

Kayla Thornton

Monique Billings

Julie Vanloo

No one was picked from Seattle. If Nika Muhl didn't tear her knee up I am assuming she would have been picked.

[Green Chile]

Kayla, Mo, and Vanloo is so nice.

[MrDollarBills]

Now it gets interesting.

I am a little disappointed that Golden State picked someone to announce the names that clearly had never heard of any of these human beings before.

Who? E40? He's a big hoops fan

The Valkyries are getting a solid 3 and D wing in Thornton. I feel sick right now.

Just the way he pronounced those names it just sounded like he had never heard of them.

He might be a huge hoop fan. But there are a lot of people that love hoops that don't pay attention to the W

I've been pre gaming so it's totally possible I misinterpreted.

Caitlin has to be kinda pissed that she lost Temi. Kinda weird that Indiana didn't protect her

Good chance Caitlin was consulted. Personally I wasn't a Temi fan as she isn't a good shooter. It would be interesting to learn who was protected.

[MrDollarBills]

This roster isn't that bad. They need to throw serious cash at either Mitchell or Plum

Ah, i see.

Personally, I can't make that assumption. I pay attention to the W and I misspelled like 5 names while I was trying to simulcast the picks in this thread including Temi's last name. And I watched her play damn near every game last season

I'll promise you this, I bet E40 will be a fixture at Valkyrie games this year. He's gonna be like how Fat Joe, Jason Sudekis and Tracy Morgan are to the Liberty.

Most likely. The stat they showed about CC and Temi hooking up on rim runs was pretty damn good tho

[MrDollarBills]

This was fun. Now we wait.

Sorry fellas, been busy with work the past couple months!

But LET'S F'ing GOOOO!!!!! SO excited to finally know which players are on 'my' team! It's getting so close.

I got a few picks right: Kate Martin, Veronica Burton, & Fagbenle. So happy to get Billings, Vanloo too! I'll be honest I know the other players, but need to watch more on them. When doing the mock expansion draft I too thought Seattle or Lynx would be a no selection pick.

Other players I wanted: Celeste Taylor, Nika Muhl, Alyssa Pili, etc. Young players with promise.

I agree with Chile here - E-40 is a big NBA fan, but not sure he has seen any WNBA at all. Nonetheless it's great to have him be showing support to the Valkyries.

Yeaaah, I love E-40, but get someone who at least studied some of the league or at least was more excited about the selections you know

[Green Chile]

Man this team is going to be so much fun. You can tell it's going to be a well-run organization.

I watched it again, and it looked like the presenters didn't know the names that were going to be on the card.

I can't imagine what would have come out of my mouth if somebody surprised me with Temi Fagbenle to pronounce. Seems like you've got to give a man a heads up on that one.

lynx had to lose someone and i'm glad it wasn't dorka

why wouldn't the sun protect burton? she's going to be pretty good i think

Was hoping for Dorka from the Lynx.

Valkyries are women Warriors. Or something like that.
