The 2019 class became a bridge between eras, combining the tail end of the old guard with a new wave of dynamic, skilled players ready to lead franchises. Zena, Sabreena, and Ben kick things off with updates on current coaching vacancies, diving into how some teams are using search firms to fill front office roles — moves that often set the stage for the next head coach hire. Then, it's time to revisit the 2019 WNBA Draft — a class that helped shape the league as we know it today. Who went too high? Who got overlooked? Which players have surprised us the most? And how did this class become a true turning point for the W? With the benefit of hindsight, the crew re-drafts the 2019 class to figure out who really should’ve gone where.
