Mock All-Star Draft! + Owning Our Worst Early Takes

The full list of 2025 WNBA All-Stars is set – so it’s time for our first-ever No Offseason Mock All-Star Draft! Ben plays along as Caitlin Clark and Sabreena as Napheesa Collier, as they select their teams player by player. Then, Zena, Ben, and Sabreena admit their worst early takes of the WNBA season – and offer one new take each for good measure. The crew also checks in on how teams are faring in the Sabreena Scale - notably, Seattle moving on up, and Dallas rookies shining next to Paige Bueckers.
