Speaker 2: You looked incredible? Thank you and you know you're funny
Speaker 2: as usual. We saw some of your your faces when
Speaker 2: the camera panned over it. Girl, what was going through
Speaker 2: your mind as you were sitting there waiting to hear
Speaker 2: your name called?
Speaker 1: My heart was beating out of its chest. I made
Speaker 1: my parents feel my heart and they were like sounding
Speaker 1: like it was like a basketball, like that's it was
Speaker 1: beating so hard. I was so nervous, but excited. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew eventually I was going to hear my name called.
Speaker 1: When I was just excited to find out where I
Speaker 1: was going to go, who was going to get to
Speaker 1: play with? And yeah, I don't know, just excited. Listen,
Speaker 1: this was this was your draft.
Speaker 2: You've been to the draft three times, obviously it's a
Speaker 2: little bit different. Can you tell us, like what the
Speaker 2: difference was for you other than the fact that.
Speaker 1: You were, you know, called number one? To be clear, yes,
Speaker 1: a lot different being the one getting drafted. I mean,
Speaker 1: this whole weekend was so busy just with stuff that
Speaker 1: all the draftees were doing dinners. Well, we had like
Speaker 1: full day of meetings, just as some people talk learning,
Speaker 1: learning about literally everything. It was like safety, information, media stuff.
Speaker 1: It was just like lecture after lecture. I felt like
Speaker 1: we were back in school, So that was super busy,
Speaker 1: but it was super cool to get to hang out
Speaker 1: with the other draftees because I mean, we're coming off
Speaker 1: a lot of us just playing each other. Five UCLA
Speaker 1: girls and South Carolina girls. I'm like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to hang out with them, They're just let me just
Speaker 1: ended like hold on. But it was super fun. Like
Speaker 1: I honestly, the first night we had dinner and I
Speaker 1: don't know if Jack was I think, yeah, Jack was there,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't want to go. I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: I don't want to make friends. And I loved all
Speaker 1: of them. So we had a great time together and
Speaker 1: it was just nice to like have a second to
Speaker 1: get to know each other. Like I said, we've been
Speaker 1: competing against each other since high school, but like you
Speaker 1: know them, we don't really get a chance to get
Speaker 1: to know them, talk to them. So we're in the
Speaker 1: same position now, all rookies going into the w So
Speaker 1: that was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Girl looked like a lot of fun. You looked in incredible.
Speaker 2: What about this, like the draft or this whole process
Speaker 2: surprised you most.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I guess, like I know
Speaker 1: how fast everything happens. I've said that, just like the
Speaker 1: turnaround from playing to then having to pack your stuff
Speaker 1: up and then going to the draft and being drafted
Speaker 1: and going to your new location. But it's different knowing
Speaker 1: that and being in it. Yeah, so like knowing them
Speaker 1: I'm going to be in Dallas tomorrow and.
Speaker 2: Like it's crazy, I'm a professional now.
Speaker 1: I not. It just doesn't feel real. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna really smack me until I'm in Dallas, And.
Speaker 2: Honestly, you might be in Dallas and be like, am
Speaker 2: I I'm still we still playing?
Speaker 1: Actually? Wow, congratulations, thank you? What's that?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Some advice you got that stuck with you. One of
Speaker 1: the panels that we did, we actually Courtney Williams came
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, Yeah that was definitely a time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely the best panel we had all day. But her
Speaker 1: advice was kind of just, you know, do what got
Speaker 1: you drafted. Don't go to your team and start trying
Speaker 1: to do the most, trying to do something you're not.
Speaker 1: Be someone you're not if you got drafted because you're
Speaker 1: a good shooter, because you're a great pastor because you're like,
Speaker 1: do the things that got you drafted, and like do
Speaker 1: those well, like don't don't do too much, but then
Speaker 1: like don't lose your confidence and not do it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that, and then the advice of I forget
Speaker 1: who said it, but like find a vet, like get
Speaker 1: to know your teammates, find a vet that you can
Speaker 1: learn from and watch, because it's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: coming at us. We're going to be trying to learn
Speaker 1: a lot, figure out a lot, naviate a lot, whether
Speaker 1: it's on the court off the court, and so find
Speaker 1: a vet who kind of has it figured out and
Speaker 1: you can like learn from them and they can take
Speaker 1: you under the wing, under their dubtas wing.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I know you talked about a little bit
Speaker 2: of all the craziness that's happening, but as someone who
Speaker 2: is it was never a drafty and there's a lot
Speaker 2: of people who never will be a draft d Can
Speaker 2: you walk us through like your day, Like, okay, you
Speaker 2: got here what Friday?
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon? I went straight to a workout, got to
Speaker 1: the hotel and hold on, let me like this weekend
Speaker 1: was so long where Friday feels like yesterday, but the
Speaker 1: same time it feels like a week ago. You'll hear
Speaker 1: make that's what it was. Insane. So Friday woke up
Speaker 1: at the booty crack of dawn so I could finished
Speaker 1: saying my goodbyes to everyone. That was sad. I think
Speaker 1: I cried like the first hour of my three hour
Speaker 1: car ride. It was like that that movie scene where
Speaker 1: like it's raining and you're just looking up the car
Speaker 1: window hand slow tears. Anyway, that was great. When my
Speaker 1: workout came back, tried a bunch of clothes on, went
Speaker 1: to this dinner, which was one of my favorite parts
Speaker 1: the whole weekend. I sat with It was two other
Speaker 1: players and Lexi Brown and Neca were at my table.
Speaker 1: So it was really cool to just talk with them
Speaker 1: like there was not like I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was just very informal. It was chill. It was like,
Speaker 1: you know, just chatting with the girls. That was amazing.
Speaker 1: Then went back, got my hair braided, saw you, went
Speaker 1: to bed, woke up super early, woke worked out, and
Speaker 1: then we had and this is Saturday, now, oh now
Speaker 1: we're onto Saturday. Okay, worked out and then Saturday we
Speaker 1: had some media first and then we went to the
Speaker 1: MBPA and we did it was like a bunch of stations.
Speaker 1: We got to listen to a panel with some of
Speaker 1: the w NBPA. Some of them were player reps and
Speaker 1: some of them were actually on the real committee and
Speaker 1: we're in the room negotiating the CBA, so it was
Speaker 1: really cool to hear from them and learn about that.
Speaker 1: I need them to negotiate some things from me. Shoo.
Speaker 1: It was a panel. There was more media, and then
Speaker 1: there were different stations, so we got scanned for two
Speaker 1: k we did. We took photos with like the new jacket.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of just like station to station,
Speaker 2: some media, some learning information overload, and then we got gifts.
Speaker 1: We got gifts. I have room in my suitcases, so
Speaker 1: I had them send it to my new location. But
Speaker 1: it was like we got iPad, we got legos, we
Speaker 1: got some perfume, some skincare, we got we got so
Speaker 1: much stuff. They really spoiled us. They really spoiled us
Speaker 1: so that I can't wait to unpack and do a
Speaker 1: hall of Oh yes, I can't wait to see it.
Speaker 1: I'll be right. There was that Ball OF's Choice. So
Speaker 1: that was from like nine to three, and then we
Speaker 1: went back to the hotel. I did more trying on
Speaker 1: of clothes. This is Saturday night, Saturday evening, evening evening.
Speaker 1: After that we went back tried on some more clothes,
Speaker 1: and then I had my Jordan dinner, which was well.
Speaker 1: The food was unreal. It was so good. It was
Speaker 1: super cute. Yes it was. I got my hair, oh
Speaker 1: that's what I did. I gotta get my hair on,
Speaker 1: makeup done. I yeah, it was super cute. The dinner
Speaker 1: was amazing. It did such a great job. I felt
Speaker 1: very loved for sure. And my family was there, my
Speaker 1: best friend was there, so it was amazing. That was
Speaker 1: a great night. I ate way too much food. That
Speaker 1: fit girl. Let's just get to a real quick, real quick.
Speaker 1: Where were you wearing? Where were you wearing?
Speaker 2: I saw pictures. Your dad broke it broke the news
Speaker 2: for me. He posted, your dad posted you were wearing well,
Speaker 2: I broke the news here. Sorry to him. You looked

Speaker 1: little like flat. That's even better. You look amazing, super
Speaker 1: mad and clar and Haley ate hair and makeup a like,
Speaker 1: look really good. We wait for that dump. Okay.
Speaker 2: So there I had a food baby like an act
Speaker 2: like actual like baby bump.
Speaker 1: I have a picture of it for proof. We went
Speaker 1: back and I had to do another fitting for coach,
Speaker 1: and that might've been the hardest part of the weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, because my first dress that I
Speaker 1: wore was of course that underneath and like I said,
Speaker 1: a baby bump. And so they're like, you know, you
Speaker 1: get on the back, yanking the strings, trying to tighten it.
Speaker 1: Not actually, but they were yanking the strings and I'm
Speaker 1: like Jack, Jack and my agent Jack and then throw up.
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting I'm standing there just like silent. I'm like,
Speaker 1: if I speak, I'm gonna die. Like do you want
Speaker 1: to go? You won't want to I can't, but nothing
Speaker 1: else can know. So that was that was a struggle,
Speaker 1: but it was it was important we did that because
Speaker 1: it really came to life. It sure did. Okay. So
Speaker 1: then went to bed really late, woke up super early,
Speaker 1: had worked out, and then Sunday was meetings all day.
Speaker 1: We were literally in the same room from nine to four.
Speaker 2: Oh that's not even like you did a shift nine
Speaker 2: to four, you went to work. That was and that
Speaker 2: was all like safety protocol things and it.
Speaker 1: Was There were some actually some really interesting things. There
Speaker 1: was like a financial literacy talk that was really cool.
Speaker 1: There was one about like mental health that was good,
Speaker 1: and I mean it wasn't It was all information we
Speaker 1: needed to know and that was all really helpful, but
Speaker 1: it was just like information overload. Like we had notebooks
Speaker 1: and I was like, I haven't been in school in
Speaker 1: so long, Like not obviously in school, but like we
Speaker 1: sit down, but like sit down and take hand written notes.
Speaker 1: I haven't done that in a minute. Yeah. That was gosh.
Speaker 1: That was a long day.
Speaker 2: And that's when Courtney came. She she livened live, ended
Speaker 2: it up. I don't know, she made it fun.
Speaker 1: I think it is. And then after I went straight
Speaker 1: to another coach fitting because mine you were now one
Speaker 1: day away from the draft, so things i'd be perfect.
Speaker 1: That was great, and then we also worked on my
Speaker 1: party dress that day too. Went right from there to
Speaker 1: another dinner with the w Kathy was there, Yeah, dinner
Speaker 1: with Kathy. Then it was also so good. I ate
Speaker 1: way too much again, and then I tried more dresses
Speaker 1: on with another food baby but no said, so it
Speaker 1: was okay, went back to the hotel, tried on more dresses,
Speaker 1: but that was when it wasn't the night until the
Speaker 1: night before that. I tried that second dress on the
Speaker 1: night before. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, Sydney, Sydney, Sydney. Yeah, you are in the prayers.
Speaker 2: Sydney Sydney and Jack.
Speaker 1: Did their big one right around try to find dresses
Speaker 1: because she picked dresses out, but I was like, I
Speaker 1: like them, I don't love them, and I want to
Speaker 1: love them. So they were running around the city trying
Speaker 1: to find different dresses. So I have it was like
Speaker 1: at least fifteen that I tried on and that was
Speaker 1: that was the bad. Winner was definitely winner girl.

Speaker 1: say the truth. Tell me I have not been there either.
Speaker 1: I mean I've been like outside, but I look like
Speaker 1: you're someone who's scared heights, are you? I am, but
Speaker 1: not too much. I'm trying to crack me late it.
Speaker 1: That could be ashamed of. I know.
Speaker 2: It's so crazy because people are like, oh, you're tall,
Speaker 2: so you should not think. It doesn't make any sense exactly,
Speaker 2: that does not matter, like no correlation six And I
Speaker 2: still don't want to be up there anyways.
Speaker 1: How was that? That was cool?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: What I didn't know that they changed the color of
Speaker 1: the building orange. Yeah, so that's and then we got
Speaker 1: to go up to the very top and they said
Speaker 1: it's the highest open deck observation something in the Northern Hemisphere.
Speaker 1: Fun fact. Yeah, so that was I think the one
Speaker 1: hundred third hundred fourth floor or something hundred something for
Speaker 1: I'm uncomfortable hearing that. And it was so windy up there.
Speaker 2: It was a little scary, but it was cool. Cool,
Speaker 2: that looked fun. I love seeing you guys were taking
Speaker 2: like pictures of having a good time. Whould you like
Speaker 2: get to bond with that you didn't expect out of
Speaker 2: the draftees.
Speaker 1: I talked a lot with I mean, actually of them,
Speaker 1: but I spent a lot of time with like Marta
Speaker 1: and Live Raven, Tony, the South Carolina girls. I really
Speaker 1: like them. They're amazing, They're crazy, they're super sweet, flage
Speaker 1: A Cod I think Cody was probably my biggest surprise.

Speaker 1: good friends with KK, so like they've been on the
Speaker 1: phone and like i'll say, high like that energy align.
Speaker 1: But oh honestly, it's scary meeting her a person. I'm
Speaker 1: like this the two of you, Yeah, we see it.
Speaker 1: They would tear a place up a good time. But
Speaker 1: she is she's great. So I think just getting like

Speaker 1: outside of the basketball court, it was really cool. All
Speaker 1: of them have such great personalities. That's good.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you guys are buy it was. It looked

Speaker 1: white Jordan Ones sick and my favorites were a pair
Speaker 1: of Travis Scott's and they were pain of course they were.

Speaker 2: So let's talk about your orange carpet fit. Tell me
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 1: Yes, So the Orange carpet fit was a custom Coach dress,
Speaker 1: which Coach really did their big one making it come
Speaker 1: to life and sid with the inspiration because I really
Speaker 1: gave her nothing to work with. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I was kind of just like I want to wear
Speaker 1: a dress. She's like colors, Nope, like sparkles, and I'm
Speaker 1: like yeah, like sure whatever, yeah, and this is what
Speaker 1: she came up with. There was a sparkle, a picture
Speaker 1: Coco Jones that was like partial inspo oh love. I
Speaker 1: don't remember what event she was going to, but like
Speaker 1: corsette coming out, but it was all black. So this
Speaker 1: was different where it was black and white with sequence.
Speaker 1: But I wish I wonder if you can show like
Speaker 1: what the like, what the sketch looked like, like the
Speaker 1: design idea to then like the first day of my fitting,
Speaker 1: it's likely just a white gown. It looked like I
Speaker 1: was getting married with like a tiny patch a triangle,
Speaker 1: a patch of sequence on the dress. You could like
Speaker 1: get the idea and I'm like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: And then the next one was like a little bit better.
Speaker 1: The next one was a little bit better, but I'm
Speaker 1: still like, I don't know about this. In the last day,
Speaker 1: everything came together and I think this is incredible. So
Speaker 1: getting to see the behind the scenes of what that
Speaker 1: looks like was also really cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean every detail you looked amazing. I know
Speaker 2: you probably died and you're saying that, but it's true,
Speaker 2: even down to your nails. Listen, you always got your
Speaker 2: nails done. Fabulous those nails, come on, talk about it.
