In this week's episode of Hitting the Hardwood, Mitchell Hansen is joined by Alexa Philippou, who covers women's basketball for ESPN.

The two talk about the WNBA now a little more than a week into the regular season, some teams who have surprised or disappointed thus far, teams who could make a push for a WNBA title, the construction of the Minnesota Lynx roster and what we've seen from the team thus far, what the end goal is for Minnesota, how Napheesa Collier can continue to lead the team, predictions for how Minnesota finishes in 2023, and much more!
