The 2026 WNBA Draft is finally here, and the Golden State Valkyries are on the clock with the #8 overall pick! In this clip from Podhalla, Brian Gonzales, Garrett Gonzales, and Conrado Pascual break down the top prospects and debate who will be the next face of the franchise in the Bay.
The big question: Do the Valkyries stay in California and grab UCLA’s national champion Gabriela Jaquez? Her versatility and "killer mindset" are exactly what Coach Natalie Nakase looks for. Or do they target a high-octane scorer like South Carolina’s Ta'Niya Latson to ignite the offense?
With the draft taking place this Monday, April 13th, the Valkyries have a chance to add a franchise cornerstone to their roster. We analyze the fit, the scouting reports, and give our final predictions on who will be wearing the Valkyries cap.
In this video:
