2024 WNBA Draft: Dyaisha Fair drafted by Las Vegas Aces

[rocfan44]

I don’t understand how the girl that went 12th (last pick of first round) was eligible to be drafted. She is only 19yrs.

International players are not restricted like the US college players are.

Well that is a stupid rule

So in the 2nd round they don’t go up on the stage? If so, that sucks that she won’t get that moment.

Looks like they may not be in attendance

If she doesn’t go to the Fever that would be okay as long as Vegas gets her. It would be their first pick in this draft and may be her best chance to make a team.

Read a crazy stat earlier today.
Only 8 of the 36 players drafted last year were on an opening day roster.
144 roster spots isn’t enough

Wow that is a crazy stat. I don’t follow women’s basketball closely. Do they have a G league or something as a backup? Or is it international only?

really, really dragging this out. Clark is amazing but it's overload for me at this point

Aces get the steal of the draft in my totally unbiased opinion

HCFLG looked so proud! Also can we talk about how it is hardly mentioned that this draft class has the #1 and #3 all time scorer in it. Thank you Holly for mentioning it.

I mean this is a wonderful landing spot for her. Coaching wise, roster wise and city wise. Nice job and congrats!!!!

If anyone follows Shea Serrano, he's a huge Aces fan. Fun follow. Now he's going to be rooting for Dyaisha with the rest of us.

Grantland, Ringer, tons of NYT bestsellers, co-showrunner for Primo, etc.

It is a good landing spot for her, and we have a good alum there who is friends with Felisha and will take her under his wing. I was with him in Phoenix this weekend, and his 7 year old daughter is a pretty good basketball player also. So good for them. He is excited. First person I texted.

International overseas are the current options.

Yeah, I'd say Hammons interest in D is sincere.
