It is one of the biggest days of the year for those who love the WNBA, as they will have a chance to see who the future stars of the team will be. There must be a ton of emotions both within the fanbase, as well as the members of the staff and the Draftees themselves.
All of the 2023 WNBA Draftees are in New York City, and some of them are starting to hit up the down, as the countdown is on to see who will have a chance to play in the WNBA.
On hand to help light up the Empire State Building Orange was WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert along with the Senior Vice President of Marketing, Public Relations and Digial for the Empire State Building Abigal Rickards.
In addition, Indiana Fever star Kelsey Mitchell helped to greet the draftees and helped to welcome them into the WNBA. Mitchell was the second overall pick in the WNBA Draft during the 2018 Season and can share what her experiences are with those who were in New York City.
