In this week's episode, I break down the latest revelations in the WNBA—Rickea Jackson and Dijonai Carrington’s Unrivaled League debuts, and how they could tilt the competitive balance. We also dive deep into the Chicago Sky’s potential for a big comeback next season, along with the offseason changes they need to make it happen.

The Dallas Wings are thriving now that they’re healthy, while Sydney Colson is quietly becoming the Aces' secret weapon with her increased minutes. Gabby Williams’ offensive evolution is taking her game to the next level, and I’ll explain how Stef Dolson’s highly efficient season is turning heads across the league.

Plus, I’m shining a spotlight on the Mystics’ rising duo of Aaliyah Edwards and Emily Engstler—two young stars on the verge of something special. And it's time to give Cecilia Zandalasini her flowers—her impact is undeniable! Lastly, I’ll touch on what Celeste Taylor’s growing confidence means for her future and what Nate Tibbetts should be prioritizing this offseason.
