WNBA DRAFT Winner and Losers
The 2025 WNBA Draft was characterized by calculated maneuvers, developmental gambles, and strategic foresight across the league. A handful of franchises emerged as clear beneficiaries, positioning themselves for sustained success, while others drew scrutiny for either miscalculations or missed opportunities. The draft also highlighted the harsh realities of professional sports, where promise alone is not always sufficient for entry. Strategic Winners 1. Dallas Wings The Dallas Wings emerged as unequivocal winners by selecting Paige Bueckers with the first overall pick. Bueckers, a transcendent talent from the University of Connecticut, is heralded for her elite court vision, scoring acumen, and basketball IQ. Supplementing this cornerstone selection, Dallas further bolstered its roster with Aziaha James and Madison Scott—two players who bring a blend of defensive versatility and offensive upside. These additions position the Wings not only for immediate enhancement but for long-term competitive viability. 2. Washington Mystics Armed with three selections within the top six, the Mystics executed a masterful draft strategy, acquiring Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen, and Georgia Amoore. Each player adds a distinct skill set: Citron brings perimeter polish and composure, Iriafen offers interior dominance, and Amoore provides leadership and floor generalship. Collectively, this draft class significantly deepens Washington’s talent pool and may prove foundational in the franchise’s rebuilding efforts. 3. Seattle Storm Seattle demonstrated both courage and vision in selecting French phenom Dominique Malonga with the second overall pick. At just 19, Malonga’s international résumé already includes professional experience and athletic credentials that suggest elite potential. The Storm’s investment

Sedona Prince Goes Undrafted
Sedona Prince’s absence from the 2025 WNBA Draft selections marked a stark divergence from what many once projected as a promising professional trajectory. Despite her physical prowess, collegiate accomplishments, and statistical output, a confluence of factors—both personal and professional—contributed to her undrafted status. Athletic Credentials and On-Court Prowess Prince concluded her collegiate career at Texas Christian University with an impressive final season, averaging 17.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game. Her performance earned her First-Team All-Big 12 and All-Defensive Team honors, reinforcing the perception that she possessed the physical tools and skill set required to succeed at the next level. At 6-foot-7, she offered a rare combination of size, mobility, and scoring touch. Nevertheless, her exclusion from the list of players invited to the draft event itself hinted at waning interest from WNBA front offices. Off-Court Controversies A significant shadow over Prince’s professional prospects stems from a series of off-court allegations. Since 2019, at least four women have publicly accused her of intimate partner violence. Most recently, in early 2025, both Prince and a former partner filed police reports involving mutual allegations of assault, though no formal charges were brought. Additional accusations emerged from a 2024 incident during an international trip. While Prince has denied the claims, the repeated nature of these allegations has likely given teams pause, particularly within a league that places strong emphasis on character and community representation. Age and Medical History Beyond personal matters, Prince’s age and injury record likely factored into the decision-making

Kelvin Sampson: Greatest is Simple
Kelvin Sampson has earned his reputation as one of the most respected and accomplished coaches in college basketball through decades of experience, adaptability, and consistent success. His ability to rebuild programs, develop players, and instill a culture of toughness and accountability sets him apart from his peers. While he fell short in the ’25 National Championship game, that does not change his impact on how coaches should probably run their programs. One of Sampson’s greatest strengths is his track record of turning struggling programs into contenders. From Washington State to Oklahoma, and most recently the University of Houston, Sampson has proven time and again that he can lead teams to sustained success. His work at Houston is particularly impressive; he took over a program with little recent relevance and transformed it into a national powerhouse, including multiple appearances in the NCAA Tournament and a trip to the Final Four. Sampson is also known for his skill in developing players, especially those who may be overlooked by other high-profile programs. Under his guidance, athletes such as Quentin Grimes, Marcus Sasser, and Jarace Walker grew into disciplined, NBA-ready professionals. His approach emphasizes fundamentals, mental toughness, and a relentless work ethic—traits that often help his players exceed expectations. Another hallmark of Sampson’s coaching is his emphasis on defense. His teams are routinely among the best in the country in defensive efficiency. They play with a high level of physicality and intensity, often outworking more talented opponents. Defense, rebounding, and hustle are non-negotiables in
