One of the most-hyped rookie classes in WNBA history is already off to an impressive start. Let’s rank them.
The 2024 WNBA Draft class – one of the most highly anticipated in league history – is entering its third week of the season, and while there have been several standouts, there have also been a fair share of growing pains.
Three of the heavily hyped rookies are averaging double figures — Cameron Brink, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese — while several others have begun to look increasingly comfortable offensively.
It’s not a guarantee that Bronny James will hear his name called during the 2024 NBA Draft. In fact, there is a chance he will return to the college ranks after entering the transfer portal following his freshman campaign at USC.
James doesn’t appear to be concerned about the odd chance that things don’t work out in his favor – which is an understandable mindset as the son of LeBron James – seeing as how he’s reportedly ignoring a number of workout invites from teams around the NBA.
NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson impressed at Indianapolis Motor Speedway throughout May, but bad weather in both Indianapolis and Charlotte completely messed up his planned attempt at doing The Double and competing in the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.
It was a bummer for sure, and Larson was pretty down on himself after a pit lane speeding penalty (something that happens to the best of them; Scott Dixon threw away a potential race win in 2022 that way) which led to a P18 finish, but it was still a great showing.

The NHL narrowly missed out on a dream matchup for the Eastern Conference Final, which would have been the New York Rangers facing the Boston Bruins. However, the Florida Panthers defeated the Bruins in six games, sending the Cats to the Final to face New York instead.
Still, having the Rangers in the Eastern Conference Final is a massive win for the league. New York draws fans better than any team in the NHL and the viewership numbers show that yet again.
Florida won the first game of the series, 3-0, in what was a dud of a match. I should know, I was there.
The good vibes from Minnesota’s surprise run to the conference finals are being replaced with concerns about the ability to keep this team together.
