Welcome to episode 17 of Straight to Cam with Cameron Brink and Sydel Curry-Lee! The ladies welcome a true standout who turned heads all through training camp—you've seen her dropping 20 in Chapel Hill, reporting courtside with style and poise, and dominating her final year at Oregon... Deja Kelly! Deja talks to Cam and Sydel about her college career at UNC, developing a “thick skin” with intense fanbases, transferring to Oregon, and her success with NIL. Deja also talks about one of the toughest days of her life–draft day, and the emotional whirlwind of getting picked up by the Aces, proving herself in training camp, then getting waived shortly after. Cam urges WNBA fans to keep supporting and watching, and stresses the importance of expanding roster sizes. The ladies wrap the show by sharing their "notes" for the week, reacting to viral posts from social media like Rihanna finally dropping a song…for the Smurfs movie.
