I don’t know when it started, but by the time I was a freshman in college, it had become a reflex. “Where are you from?” I’d be asked. “I’m from Pasadena,” I’d respond. Sure, it wasn’t entirely true. But people knew about Pasadena. Maybe they had heard of Old Town or seen the outside of City Hall on Parks & Recreation. At the very least, they knew about the Rose Parade or, especially in the sports-centric circles I run in, the Rose Bowl.

Conde was the Sky’s No. 27 pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft, and although she played collegiately at Florida State, she has yet to play in the WNBA. A 6-foot-1 forward, she has been a key contributor on both the Spanish national team and on the Czech club ZVVZ USK Praha in recent years. She told The Athletic two years ago that playing for her country was always her priority. Of playing in the WNBA, she told The Athletic she would one day “like to try for sure.”“If there wasn’t national team for sure I would be trying to go,” Conde said. “But national team, that’s kind of like the priority for me in the summer.” Nevertheless, it's unclear if she currently plans on coming over or if Golden State will merely retain her rights.

The biggest surprise of the draft so far is that Fagbenle was available for the Valkyries. In the final game of the Fever's 2024 season, needing a win against Connecticut to extend its first-round playoff series, Indiana started Fagbenle in place of NaLyssa Smith. The 32-year-old was the Fever's best rim-runner and a versatile defender who seemed beloved in the locker room. She fits into Nakase's ethos of highly competitive workers who are willing to sacrifice for the better of the team.Fagbenle hadn't played in the WNBA for four seasons before returning in 2024, so perhaps Indiana was concerned about her availability, or new head coach Stephanie White prioritized veteran Damiris Dantas, who is a better 3-point shooter, over Fagbenle.
