Is Paige Bueckers set to take over the WNBA the moment she steps on the court? In this clip, legendary basketball broadcaster and former player Debbie Antonelli joins the show to break down the upcoming WNBA Draft. The conversation kicks off with Paige’s projected No. 1 overall selection and dives into how the draft landscape shifts after “Paige Buckets” is off the board. From her journey through hype, injury, and redemption at UConn to whether she can match the instant stardom of Caitlin Clark, Debbie brings expert insight.

They also discuss the Indiana Fever’s offseason moves and what pieces they should target to build around Clark. Plus, Debbie shares what it’s like watching Caitlin Clark up close every game, and gives her perspective on Olivia Miles’ shocking decision to transfer from Notre Dame to TCU instead of entering the draft.

The clip wraps with a look at the Connecticut Sun’s rebuild and how this stacked 2024 draft class compares to the upcoming 2025 group.
