Comme @helpsidegreg me l’a demandé j’ai fait une petite liste (non exhaustive évidemment) des joueuses NCAAW à suivre (que ça soit en vue de la draft 2027 mais aussi des drafts futures). Il y a évidemment beaucoup plus de joueuses mais si vous cherchez à commencer⬇️

Soapbox time: I believe a solid international scouting pipeline is one of the biggest roster-building advantages a team can have. Because of the negotiating leverage that the CBA provides, reserved players offer a straight-line path to surplus value. (See: Pauline Astier.) Outside of the draft, it's hard to find quality players who can be paid under $400,000. Paying attention to the international game is as important as ever.
International players are a growing factor in the WNBA. Players born outside of the US scored more than 25% of points in 2026, the highest share for international players since at least 2017 (likely ever). From tomorrow's piece on a few large-scale takeaways from the season.

Adding to my collection of 15+ years of newspaper front pages from whenever a Bay Area sports team advances to or wins a championship. Here are today's front pages of the San Francisco Chronicle. Go Valkyries! 💜

GABBY WILLIAMS ! ❤️ J'ai rarement été autant ému et heureux pour une joueuse. Quel parcours, quand on repense à UConn, au BLMA, aux difficultés au Sky, puis le coeur qu'elle a mis avec les Bleues jusqu'à en devenir... une légende. Maintenant, on attend le podcast sur les animés !

Another woman who was an NBA assistant coach just won a WNBA Championship, very quickly, as a head coach. Makes you think.

THE VALKYRIES ARE CHAMPIONS. Fueled by a Herculean second half by Gabby Williams, Golden State stayed the course and won the first Game 7 in WNBA history. Two years ago, Joe Lacob told Natalie Nakase she had to win a title within five years. Mission accomplished.

À propos du temps de jeu de Janelle Salaün en playoffs qui interpelle certains d'entre vous🧵 : Il faut comprendre que depuis le début de la saison Janelle ne joue pas à son poste. C'est pas de son fait, c'est le roster qui est construit comme ça (d'où aussi l'arrivée d'Aminata

What are we doing...
The Philadelphia 76ers have struck a multi-year deal with Kalshi to make Kalshi its official prediction market partner. Sixers say they're the 1st NBA team to name an official prediction market partner, and are following in the footsteps of the NBA's deals this week.

8 3 points tentés pour Angel !! J’en avais parlé lors du brunch @_SwishSwish_ de dimanche mais c’est important qu’elles puissent les prendre pour créer de la confusion dans les choix défensifs de GS… Un gros volume à faible % vaut structurellement plus qu’un tout petit à fort %

The more things change, the more they stay the same. During the 2015 WNBA playoffs, while playing for the NY Liberty, we were forced to play back-to-back playoff games against Washington and Indiana. Fast forward to 2026, Game 6 of the WNBA Finals is being played at 12:30pm on a Thursday to accommodate an NBA regular-season game. Different circumstances, same underlying issue. At what point do we address the structural sexism embedded in women’s sports?

Among the things Atlanta did well in the first half (besides shooting the light out) was utilizing Naz Hillmon as more of a screener on ball. More Charles in the backend and Stokes away from the ball, which plays well with ghosting the Empty screens (team-wide) to up their 3PAr.
