Seattle and I had an agreement to trade picks prior to any athlete selection. I want to be super clear about the draft: This had nothing to do with Flau'jae or any specific athlete selection.
For a player of Gabby's caliber to choose us in just our second year ... means everything. She is world-class. One of the best defenders in the world, an WNBA All-Star, and someone who makes everyone around her better.
