WNBA Preseason, How We Talk About Player Cuts and the WNBA's Coverage Equity Discussion | Ball Up Top: A WBB Podcast

This week, as Ball Up Top returns to a weekly format, Andrew and Chauny break down the early preseason, Paige Bueckers and the Aces possible training camp cuts.

We are officially back into a weekly flow at No Cap Space WBB and so you can reliably count on Ball Up Top hitting your inbox on Tuesday mornings. This week, Andrew and Chauny load up the show with plenty of thoughts on the WNBA so far.

They open the show by discussing the league’s new emphasis on college trips, how to have multiple faces of a league from a marketing standpoint and any early preseason thoughts on players or teams. Chauny then discusses the WNBA’s training camp cuts and who might be on the block. That conversation becomes a broader bit on how the scarcity of roster positions leads to some media discussion that fans might think is harsh on players. The pod wraps with a brief dive into the art of Ethical Hate and why Paige Bueckers is being failed by her interviewers when it comes to conversations about coverage equity in the WNBA.
