In most professional leagues, rookies are prized possessions that can help teams effectively manage the salary cap, develop talent for the future, and show their superiority in scouting. So why do some women's basketball players get picked in the top 20 and wind up washing out before their first season even begins? This is the question that Ryan brings to Godfrey on this episode, with a special appearance from Marisa Ingemi of the San Francisco Chronicle to bring some actual expertise to the discussion. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield Apparel and produced by Michael Surber.
