This dress has good intentions but it's SUCH a hodge-podge of ideas. The bra part doesn't sit well. The fabric extruding from the torso is weird. The slit is a harsh angle. I wanted more for her on her big night...

... and apparently so did she, because she changed inside before the draft began. And into a MUCH better dress. This is the only photo we had available, but you can see here that she looks like a million bucks. It's so much better! Why bother with the first one?
No. 2: Olivia Miles, TCU, to Minnesota Lynx

I love Olivia, even though she left Notre Dame for TCU this year. I can't be mad. Get your bag, Olivia! And apparently it paid off with a great draft spot and a team that traded up for her. Unfortunately, she is wearing literally the exact same thing as a valet would.
No. 3: Awa Fam Thiam of Spain to Seattle Storm

This maybe feels more like a Eurovision costume.

Her brother Jaime played for UCLA, too. (He's in Miami now.) I love that she gets to be the ONLY national champ in the family, and holy cow, did they battle through an intense field to get there. YAY WOMEN'S SPORTS.
No. 6: Kiki Rice of UCLA to Toronto Tempo

I am a little tired of outfits that hinge upon someone's jacket falling off.
No. 8: Flau'jae Johnson, LSU, to Seattle Storm (via Golden State)

Flau'jae was drafted and then traded, which I'm sure is a whiplash sort of feeling. She is ALSO a rapper who has three albums and has appeared on America's Got Talent. She looks like a woman at the Oscars afterparties.
No. 9: Anglea Dugalic, UCLA, to Washington Mystics

She and Lauren Betts get to be teammates again! Between them and Sonia Citron, an ND grad who's on the Mystics, things seem pretty exciting over there. I would like to clip off those straps and give her better shoes.
No. 10: Raven Johnson, South Carolina, to Indiana Fever

I ate my own caption for this somehow? I had meant to write that I like the idea of this but that it needs tall boots. Or pants. And never socks with strappy shoes.
No. 12: Nell Angloma, France, to Connecticut Sun

Don't love the pleat in the pants. I wonder if the top would have stood out better, too, if the pants were dark?
No. 13: Madina Okot, Kenya, to Atlanta Dream

This dress would be improved 40 percent by an IMMEDIATE shoe change, but that would still leave it in a deficit.
No. 16: Marta Suarez, Spain, to Golden State Valkyries

I think she was drafted by Seattle and traded, so she and Flau'jae must have been involved in a larger deal. I am confused by the leather harness and random necktie. it's like someone asked a particularly hallucinatory AI to design a suit.
No. 18: Charlisse Leger-Walker, UCLA, to Connecticut Sun

She works in some kind of brand partnership situation; I only downloaded the picture because her outfit is INSANE. Taking a scissors to a WNBA shirt is one thing, but I am thoroughly confused as to how those boots happened. Maybe her brand is chaos.
